Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil to discuss the following matter of urgent national importance, namely, the continuing impact of the disgraceful cuts being imposed by the Health Service Executive, HSE, on hospitals, including the cancellation of up to eight operations per day at Cavan General Hospital; the need for the Minister for Health and Children to apologise to public patients in the health care system; to withdraw her statement that the cuts will not affect patient care; and to take immediate measures to lift the ban on recruitment and to restore services.
