- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (15 Nov 2017)
Micheál Martin: Whereas, in principle, the Government says that it is in favour of Sláintecare, reading between the lines, I do not get a sense that the Government is totally committed to Sláintecare at all. The Taoiseach's reply confirms that to me, since he says there is further work to be done on costings and implementation which is code for me for slowing down the implementation of...
