Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

That is the kind of thing that has not been said about me in a long time, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Deputy Munster was making a legitimate case until she decided that she had a monopoly of caring. We all care in this House. The Health Act actually prohibits me - if the Deputy would like to amend it, she should do so - from directing the HSE to provide care for anyone. However, I will personally take a look at the case, as will the Minister of State, Deputy McGrath. I will reply to the Deputy in writing. It sounds like a very difficult situation for Hannah and her family to be in. We have provided significant additional resources in the budget. I will revert to the Deputy directly.
