Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance: the pending industrial relations meltdown in our hospitals arising directly from the failure of the Minister for Health and Children to address effectively a range of pressing issues, including the crisis in accident and emergency units, the uncertainty for health service staff regarding their employment arising from the establishment of the Health Service Executive, and the failure to renegotiate the consultants' contract to ensure greater equity in hospital care for public patients.
