-----and those who make decisions within the HSE. They are very important people. Are we prepared as a nation to devolve those decisions to the VHI, Aviva, the Quinn Group and any other foreign company that comes here because it is explicit in the Fine Gael policy that decisions on whether somebody gets an operation or not will be made in the offices of a health insurance company? That is the reality. We are looking at films about this in America. The reality of Fine Gael's policy is that we will no longer have a public health service. We will have a fully private health service controlled from abroad. The HSE's problem, as a public health service and the guardians of the public, is that it has not explained that role properly to the people.
