I am trying to highlight that we will never get Sláintecare and a public health system. The people who will be sitting in this room in 15 years will be talking about the same thing if we are not able to collectively get the pipeline of skills and qualified professionals producing something at the far end. This requires joined-up thinking between the Oireachtas, the Department, the HSE and the other Departments involved, such as the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. That needs to be rocking and rolling.
