Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

I am saddened by what is proposed in the Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill. I do not believe anyone could have confidence in the HSE's ability to use and value the facilities and staff of St. Luke's Hospital or be able to continue the work done by the staff and its voluntary support group in the past. They certainly will not be able to do it to the same benefit of the wider community.
