Confidence in the Minister for Health: Motion [Private Members] (18 Sep 2012)

Jerry Buttimer: This Minister and this Government will put patients first, and that is what the health system must be about. It must be about the patient who goes in the door of the hospital. It is not about the money in one's pocket or the colour of one's political affiliation. It is about a Minister who will deliver, and if he does not deliver in four years we should have another debate about it but let...
