We hear less and less about the Government's plans for the future and universal health insurance, but instead of being told anything at all, what we need now is a recognition of the reality and for the Minister to ensure that the health service is managed. When we near a pinch point, action should be taken in advance. Unfortunately, we have not seen this approach to date. It is time for a change. I urge the House to support the motion tabled by Deputy Kelleher.
