The Taoiseach will agree that this is important and must...

Yesterday in the House we spoke about the new trend towards privatisation in the health service. There is a section of the health service, however, which has been privatised for quite some time, namely, the nursing homes...
- Social Services Inspectorate: Motion (Resumed). (1 Feb 2006)
John Gormley: I would like the Minister of State to do so, and to put it on the record of the House. It is very important that we have openness and transparency and that we get to the truth. As this society becomes older â and this is happening throughout Europe â this will become probably the most important issue, along with pensions and care for the elderly.

- Hospitals Building Programme. (31 Jan 2006)
John Gormley: The Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children famously said Ireland was closer to Boston than Berlin. Given the sheer inequity of the US health service why does she support the Americanisation of ours? Does she agree that a for-profit motive is at work in the US that leads to profit before people? Has she heard Dr. Risteard Mulcahy and Mr. Maurice Nelligan on the subject? They say that...

[3086/06]
- Departmental Funding. (31 Jan 2006)
John Gormley: I think the Tánaiste will agree with me that ISANDS carries out tremendous work. The purpose of my question was to ask why the society received a once-off payment in 2005. The society takes 5,500 calls per year. In addition, it must hold meetings throughout the country, hire hotel rooms, which often cost approximately â¬300 per night, and send off newsletters to its members and others who...
