James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the threat to health care in this country from the embargo on recruiting frontline medical staff to the health system, which will have a devastating effect on the provision of emergency services, in-hospital care, surgical procedures, the care of the elderly and the disabled, public dental services and the mortality rates of vulnerable and at-risk patients.
