One of the things on which I cannot really get an answer is that when the amount of money being spent on healthcare is going up so quickly - it has gone from approximately €13 billion to €18 billion under the current Minister for Health alone, an unprecedented increase in healthcare spending - there is at the exact same time an unprecedented collapse in access to healthcare, which obviously should not be happening. Having done all this work, analysis and stakeholder engagement, has Ms Magahy come up with any reasons things have got so bad when funding has gone up by so much?
