Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

——because it has been clear all year in the discussions between the Departments of Health and Children and Finance that they had concerns about aspects of this system. That is not to say this entire system is a waste of time and that they should undo what they have done. That is a different issue. I do not believe they should do so. They should continue to try to develop the system so the new HSE, an organisation bringing together 11 disparate health boards, has a proper system. They have not done it very well to date but they should continue to try to get it right and use money correctly. That is the right thing to do.
