Perhaps all we need to deliver hospital services is a number of big hospitals. However, they should be safe environments. People are entitled to make political points. Opposition colleagues are entitled to be critical. This Bill and others introduced by the Minister try to get the job done. I attended a meeting of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children a few weeks ago. Deputy English should hear this before he leaves.
