Given that we are in the last number of weeks of the session, can the Minister indicate to the Dáil when we can expect a raft of legislation in terms of the health information Bill and the universal health insurance legislation for the establishment of a universal health insurance fund as provided for in the programme for Government? Will the Minister indicate whether the Government is of a mind to provide substantial funds to the VHI to ensure it meets its regulatory requirements? Can the Minister indicate when legislation on universal health insurance commitments made in the programme for Government can be expected?
