Barry Andrews (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

The fact that members of my party seem to think the same thing just goes to show how difficult it is to contradict it. Surveys suggest that in excess of 90% of people who have received service from the HSE have been satisfied with that service. However, the figure representing those who feel the HSE is doing a good job is probably less than 10%. The notion has seeped into the public mind that all of the good things that happen in the HSE happen in spite of the corporate body of the HSE. People agree there are great people working in hospital wards, in social work and in middle management and that some of the people in higher management are well motivated, but that equity within the HSE is at an all-time low.
