People say they do not want the HSE and present the NHS as a golden goose. In reality we see terrible waiting lists. People are very attached to their disability cars and say they would not want a united Ireland because of their cars or benefits. How do we counteract this? We have big problems with the HSE and people accessing therapies and there are many other problems. How do we improve the message that there are a lot of structural problems in the HSE but there is a great value to what we provide in the South of Ireland? We can provide a valuable healthcare system for everyone in time if we work towards reunification. I would like to hear the analysis of the witnesses on the health aspects.
