Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Eugene Drennan:

I have said where we are at over health. It is not really front of line with us but I would be cognisant that we discuss the fear of a health issue coming up. In addition, the rate of suicide has gone very high. I would be conscious that if we see any signs around that, we would act. We do not have that incidence, thank God, except very seldom.
