Mr. Bernard Gloster:

The allocation percentage towards things like prevention, early intervention, changing lifestyles and changing behaviours towards overall health and well-being needs to increase. It is part of the core pillar of Sláintecare in terms of changing the health status of the population. I agree with the Deputy wholeheartedly. The well-being of the population has many needs and many potentials through schools, employers, local communities, sports clubs and so on. For as long as we think the Healthy Ireland strategy is the remit of the HSE, it will fail.
