Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

The national service plan for the health service sees €750 million stripped from health services this year. This comes on top of €1.5 billion taken out of the health service by this Government and the previous Government over the previous two years. This morning, I received a copy of the Dublin north-east regional service plan. The HSE has asked that it be kept confidential and no wonder because it makes grim reading. I have a duty to make it public.
