Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Cancer survival rates are improving, stroke survival rates and heart attack survival rates are improving. Suicide rates are going down while life expectancy is increasing. None of that has happened by accident. It has happened because the right policies and strategies have been put in place by the health service. They have been funded by the Government. It has also happened because of the professionalism and hard work of all of our healthcare staff.
