Leaders' Questions
10:30 am
Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)
One 78 year old woman had been sitting on a hard chair for 24 hours. She was assessed as being too sick to go home, but there was no place available in the hospital. It is the responsibility of the Taoiseach's Government to provide those units and beds. I see hotels being built on 24-hour shifts around the country, but regarding the most important buildings of all, hospitals, where people have no place at the inn, the Government has broken its commitments. What will the Taoiseach do about it?
