Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I raised an issue earlier in respect of the health services. My over-riding sense is that there is an absence of any direction in the health services at the moment. This is principally because the existing governance framework has been arbitrarily disbanded in terms of the HSE board with no alternative put in place. The situation is unsatisfactory. Most commentators and observers remark on the fact that we have a directionless health service at the moment. When will the Health Service Executive governance Bill be published?
