Róisín Shortall: Will the Minister please allow me my time?

Róisín Shortall: I thank both of the witnesses for coming along. Those last few comments are demoralising, to say the least, where Professor McCormack talked about everything being chaotic and much of this is down to the tendency towards privatisation in recent years in the health service. I would not disagree with Professor McCormack on that at all. They made the point that nothing is working from the...
