Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Government still has a very clear commitment to introducing a single-tier health system. There will be no ceremony. Last week, I confirmed that the Government will not pursue the universal health insurance model assessed by the ESRI. There will not be any ceremony about it. While I will have to check the figures, I think 42 issues in the programme for Government have been completed, 40 have substantial work under way, 11 have been commenced and two have not been commenced. I will advise the Deputy regarding his question on DEIS band 2 schools and the sections of the EPSEN Act that have been commenced or are intended to be commenced.
