Billy Kelleher (Cork North Central, Fianna Fail)

Perhaps this is not the appropriate time to raise this particular issue, but in the context of the programme for Government there is a commitment to the abolition of the HSE itself. When the Minister amends the Health Act of 2004 to abolish the HSE, will that have implications or repercussions in terms of a requirement for further legislation in this regard to deal with the abolition of the HSE? Is it the case that we are passing legislation that we will be amending again in the near future?
