I will and we will stick to the substance of the Bill. The Minister referred to other areas in the context of the provision of primary care. He mentioned universality and universal health insurance, UHI. The difficulty is that the Minister’s credibility in this area is well questioned because the Minister for Finance announced to the Dáil on budget day that he was putting a cap on the tax relief for insurance premiums.
