Only one, with no commentary or soliloquy With regard to what Dr. Keegan and Dr. de Buitléir have said, the issue is that we have a system in which private health insurance is inadvertently subsidising the public health service. This is the fundamental issue examined by the committee on the future of healthcare. That subsidy is perverse. We have to finish at 11.30 a.m. so the two Deputies requesting can have one question each.
