We are not going to hide behind the wreckage the Deputy's party left behind. We will not hide behind the litany of failures he epitomised in that Department or the litany of consultants' reports he commissioned and did nothing about. The Government was appointed and elected to serve the country. The HSE was a completely dysfunctional organisation. Squashing the health boards together and imposing the superstructure of the HSE on top was supposed to provide the best world-class service right across the health system. However, the Minister for Health found that there was no effective management, no effective financial control and no clear accountability in terms of the programmes being implemented.
