Róisín Shortall: I would like to get some clarification in that regard. If a duty to provide services is being placed on the Minister, I presume there is a need for the legislation to be quite specific about the services to which citizens are entitled.

At the same time, the primary and...

- Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Management of Chronic Care Illness: Discussion (28 Sep 2016)
