- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Stephen Donnelly: I hope many of them have. I thank Mr. Gunning. I would like to ask about private patients. The Minister replied to a parliamentary question yesterday when I asked about taking private patients out of public hospitals. He said that other countries with strong public hospital systems do not tolerate the inefficiencies and perverse incentives that arise from having a stream of private...

- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Hospitals Building Programme (26 Nov 2019)

- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Hospitals Building Programme (26 Nov 2019)
Stephen Donnelly: I asked for funding for the project briefs to be progressed this year, but next year is better than not at all. I want to go through my points one at a time. The Holles Street project is meant to have started by now. I understand that was the original plan.

As I am sure the Minister is, I am talking to the clinicians involved and learning that the conditions are not safe. The...

- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Hospitals Building Programme (26 Nov 2019)
Stephen Donnelly: I thank the Chair and the Minister. On the promise on the Coombe, the exact wording of the Taoiseach was that the work would happen "in parallel". If the Minister tells me building A is going to be progressed in parallel with building B, it suggests to me that bricks will go up at the same time. That is pretty reasonable. I would like to return to the core question again. We can go...
