Will the Minister clarify, as he clearly did earlier in the Dáil Chamber, that he cannot enter into talks until this legislation has been approved? He outlined the reasons for providing free GP care for children under six years and adults over 70. I ask him to reiterate what he said in case anybody did not hear why he legitimately cannot proceed until this legislation is passed.
