If the Taoiseach comes to the Dáil, I will be happy to give way to him at any stage during my question. I want to ask the Minister for Health why the undertakings on universal health insurance and the introduction of the free GP scheme for the whole population, which were the two central planks of the Government's policy in 2011, have not been fulfilled? The Minister has abandoned universal health insurance and it now appears he has abandoned the roll-out of free GP care to the whole population. Will he explain why those two key policies were not implemented?
