It is timely not just in terms of the changing Cabinet, which sees the Tánaiste take over the Department of Health and Children, but because an ESRI seminar was today presented with a paper which compares the Irish health service to other economically developed countries. To be told by a think-tank, which is well...

Rural Development: Motion. (1 Jun 2004)
