Ambulance Service: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (16 Apr 2014)

Jim Daly: To quadruple or increase by 400% the health bill is nothing short of shameful. Deputy Kelleher can protests all he likes and sometimes he doth protest too much but it is not about how much we spend. That is not how we are going to be judged and that is not the solution. It is about how we do what we do and about getting value for money because ultimately, we are answerable to the...
