I will not. I withdraw the names, but I believe that, collectively, all Ministers for Health in modern times in the State were asleep at the wheel and allowed this to happen. That is the way the system has evolved; they are the people we picked to do it and it is there responsibility rests. It is also from there that reform will come. I am hopeful the new Minister will actually acknowledge, as he seems to have done, that things are really abnormal and need to be fixed. They have needed to be fixed for a very long time.
