Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)

I will conclude on this point. As regards the idea that the corporate status of the VHI will determine risk equalisation, we have been waiting for years for that legislation and according to the Minister's admission we will have to wait more years before it is implemented. Does that mean we will have to wait for years for risk equalisation to be introduced or does it mean there will be a change of heart in terms of meeting the needs of people and ensuring fair play in the health insurance market?
