Leaders' Questions

Promises made on health savings have not been achieved. This has resulted in extra cuts to home help services, for example. More than 1 million home help hours have been severed from families around the country. That is the reality. Are we facing cuts of a similar order across the acute hospital service? The CEO of Tallaght hospital could not confirm on radio this morning that there would not be further cuts. I am asking for a degree of transparency and honesty on this issue.
