The Minister may not want to hear it but I said on budget night that when he deploys policies like that, this is what we will get. We will get our elderly people on hospital trolleys and people dying in their homes because the emergency service will not get to them within the appropriate time. Does the Minister accept that the Government has failed spectacularly to deal with the crisis in our hospitals and accident and emergency services across the State?
