Dermot Fitzpatrick (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

We will vote with the Government later because we have an excellent and outstanding Minister for Health and Children, who is grappling with the issues as they come up. I suspect they are not as easy to address as she may have surmised when she took up the post but she will deal with them and on 17 May 2007 she will be able to tell Deputy James Breen that the health services in Clare are 100% effective.
