Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

It is gobbledegook to patients. It is gobbledegook to a parent who comes into a hospital with a sick child but is told that the child cannot receive any service. The Taoiseach must sort this out and reform the HSE so that we do not end up in a situation where different hospitals or services are not functioning from one week to the next. It is long past time to sort out the mess in the health service, reform the HSE and provide the care to patients for which taxpayers are paying.
