Leaders' Questions (28 Mar 2007)

Pat Rabbitte: I noted the "H" word was the only one that did not pass the Taoiseach's lips on Saturday night. There was no reference at all of hospitals, not to mention private hospitals and the Government's plan to build super private clinics on the grounds of public hospitals. There is not a single Member in any week of the year who does not deal with a number of harrowing cases of people languishing...

Leaders' Questions (28 Mar 2007)

Pat Rabbitte: I am not the one who is saying this. Accident and emergency consultants have said they are extremely disturbed by proposals that would mean their patients would automatically get a bed because they are privately insured.

Leaders' Questions (28 Mar 2007)

Pat Rabbitte: The Minister, Deputy Noel Dempsey, did not seek any mandate for this policy. He did not put it in the programme for Government. The Taoiseach knows there will be no accident and emergency services in the private hospitals. The consultants are saying that patients will be transferred out of casualty units on the basis of whether they have private insurance. That is how serious it is for...

Leaders' Questions (28 Mar 2007)

Pat Rabbitte: I am grateful to the Ceann Comhairle. While the Taoiseach refuses to answer the question of whether he will sign the contracts, even if he does sign them, we will do everything we can to examine the tax sections that allow the write-down in capital allowances to the investors who will build these super private clinics. Investors who put their money into these super private clinics should be...
