Her first comments were what she believed but she changed because she did not want to be caught on the hop. She was caught and I make no apologies for saying so.

I wish to be associated with comments made by the Minister for Health and Children in the House last night when she apologised to the patients of the former midland health board and those in Portlaoise hospital.
