Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

When will the promised costing structure of the proposed health reforms based on health insurance be available? This has been signalled for some time. Can the Minister of State give Members an indication as to when that will be available?

Will the Minister of State clarify the step approach to the roll-out of GP care for all? Is it on a two-step basis - those who currently hold the long-term illness card and then all citizens - or on a category-by-category phased basis? Can she give the House some sense of how many steps there will be towards the ultimate roll-out? Is there a timeframe in which she expects that to be concluded?
