Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I am answering Deputy Kenny. The Deputy can raise it the next day the Minister for Health and Children is taking questions. That is what they are doing, but they are still seeing more patients on an inpatient basis, more on an outpatient basis and more under the National Treatment Purchase Fund. I know it is a rising population, but they are getting more resources to do this and people need to acknowledge it.
