I am conscious of the time. My questions are primarily for Ms McDonnell Byrne and Ms Byrne, who both mentioned health and housing. Ms McDonnell Byrne spoke of those that she works with not being able to afford blood tests that are not covered by the GP card or other medical expenses. We all know that the price of everything in chemists is increasing exponentially.

How would the health (amendment) Act card address those concerns or those gaps?
