Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

For the tremendous work that is done within the health services, the social services and the associated primary care services, I have nothing but unqualified admiration.

In the tenor of this debate, there is no recognition of that from the Opposition. Instead, there is constant identification and isolation of problems which inevitably arise in any system involving the administration of health and social services.
