Confidence in the Minister for Health: Motion (20 Feb 2019)

Confidence in the Minister for Health: Motion (20 Feb 2019)

Stephen Donnelly: First, the Government was going to scrap the HSE, but it did not. It was going to fund healthcare via universal health insurance, but it did not. It scrapped the board of the HSE, but last year, because of CervicalCheck, it decided to put it back in place. It has now appointed it. There are ten people on it, but it turns out that not one person on it has a medical background. Matters...

Confidence in the Minister for Health: Motion (20 Feb 2019)

The Good Friday Agreement is at risk, as are cross-Border initiatives in healthcare. The agrifood sector is also at risk. It is a risk in having no hard border around the Six Counties. Most people get this.

Confidence in the Minister for Health: Motion (20 Feb 2019)

Stephen Donnelly: Most people, while utterly frustrated by the Government's performance in healthcare, agree that a general election in the closing days of Brexit would be madness. Of course, that is not the case with Sinn Féin, but we should not be surprised. It has been and remains the best friend the Brexiteers have ever had. Due to it, the only political voice from Northern Ireland heard at...

Confidence in the Minister for Health: Motion (20 Feb 2019)

Stephen Donnelly: Now, weeks before the Brexit deadline, Sinn Féin would like to complete the hat trick and collapse the Dáil also, taking Ireland away from the EU table while aspects of its future are being negotiated. This is Sinn Féin's choice, on which it should be judged. Fianna Fáil's choice is to focus on eliminating the CervicalCheck backlogs, to get answers on the national...
