Dr. Maev-Ann Wren:

I had meant to respond to Deputy Murphy O'Mahony's question, which very much picks up from Professor O'Dowd, as to whether a universal treatment with treatment according to need was possible or realistic. We can all disagree about elements of how one gets there, but the reality is that it is the norm throughout Europe and, therefore, possible and realistic in all neighbouring countries and many other parts of the world. Universal health coverage is a World Health Organization objective and one it is promoting strongly. That should tell us that we are playing catch up here. Of course, it should be possible and realistic.
