People have lost confidence in both the health system and the Minister of Health. Indeed, they have lost confidence in all four Ministers in the Department. There are scandals whereby people are dying. I will just mention the CervicalCheck scandal whereby women are dying unnecessarily. There is now the escalating cost of the children's hospital, whereby the Government is going to pay €500,000 for another report to find out what happened. Where were the Ministers for Justice, and Equality, Health and Finance when this was happening? In March 2017, our little group highlighted that the proposed site is the wrong location in which to build the hospital. The reason we provided in that regard related to the fact that the cost of getting the materials in and out of where the hospital is to be built will drive the Government's projected cost up to the moon.
