Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Private Activity in Public Hospitals: Discussion
Alan Kelly (Tipperary, Labour) | Oireachtas source
I thank Dr. de Buitléir and agree with him. In my next question I am asking for his personal opinion. I am aware that the terms of reference have been defined. I am a huge supporter of the national maternity strategy, but it is way behind. We are all aware of the issues surrounding the national children's hospital. There will also be other developments. Given that the Government supports it and while not all politicians will support it, most will, should we not just block having private facilities in public hospitals or public healthcare facilities under construction? I am probably asking this questin based on what is contained in the report.
