We all know where we will be in six months; we will be on the other side of a general election. That is the reason this amendment has been tabled. I am disappointed that Fianna Fáil has said it will support the Government amendment. It is saying the same thing, namely, people have a right to health but not yet. The time has come to make that an absolute right for everyone in our society. For that, I commend this Bill and congratulate Deputy Harty on bringing it forward.
