Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

In respect of the Tánaiste's answer on accident and emergency departments, will she publish a benchmarking system so we can know of increased performance according to length of stay in accident and emergency departments? Will she publish a benchmarking system in respect of those waiting six hours, eight hours, ten hours, 12 hours or more?

In 2001, the Government promised more than €1 billion over ten years for the primary care sector. Only €16 million has been spent in this area. The Government still refers to ten pilot projects when we were told that there would be 600 delivered by 2012.
