I am coming to it. Bear with me. We need to call this out. I am not blaming Ms Magahy or her team for any of this, but there is a lot of talk about plans, governance, oversight, budgets and pilot projects. The reality, however, is sick children, sick adults and sick pensioners who can no longer access healthcare in the State. The only thing that really matters is when are they going to see a difference? When will it be possible for a child with special needs to get help? When will it be possible for an elderly person to be able to access his or her doctor when he or she needs to do so? When are things going to actually improve for men, women and children who need healthcare?
