Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

When I talk to people about the state of the health service, one of the questions that comes up repeatedly is how long the Taoiseach intends to leave the Minister, Deputy Harney, in charge of the health service. He is about to reshuffle his Cabinet and has an opportunity to tell the people of this country this morning whether he will appoint a new Minister for Health and Children next week, the week after St. Patrick's Day or whenever it is that he will come into the House and announce a reshuffle.
