Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I can confirm to the Deputy that the number of children on waiting lists has been reduced by 800, even with the exceptional numbers who have left the health service through voluntary redundancy, retirement and so on.

There is no alternative report. Everybody who will be party to making the decision, following the recommendation of the Minister, is entitled to understand the implications, the scale and the challenge of the project that lies ahead. The Dolphin report will be published as soon as the Government makes its decision, everybody can read it and we will have an opportunity to debate these issues here.
