Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

Every Deputy in this House is concerned with the revelations that €100 million, which was required for the fair deal scheme, seems to have got lost within the HSE. Nobody has said that more articulately than the Minister for Health. The statements will take place this afternoon, but there are time constraints. If, after the statements, it is the view of Deputies participating in the debate that additional time is needed, as additional information is made available, I have been assured by the Minister for Health that he will be happy to do so.
