Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The Minister has anticipated one of my questions. What exactly is he doing to ensure the slides and the testing will be repatriated? It is one thing to want it. That is fine and maybe we all want that but people want to see what concrete steps are being taken. I have said before that the decision to outsource was a political decision, not a clinical one. The decision on how to proceed should be informed by clinicians and not by political expediency.
