James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following urgent matter of national importance, namely, the failure by the HSE to recoup €160 to €200 million owed to it in unpaid bills, which will further threaten the provision of essential health services which are being withdrawn throughout the country due to financial constraints such as the failure to complete phase 2B of Longford-Westmeath Regional Hospital, for which €66 million was ring-fenced by the Fianna Fáil Government in 2002 and has not yet been delivered upon.
