- Order of Business (16 Dec 2008)
Jan O'Sullivan: I am seeking clarification from the Ceann Comhairle. The House may have been misinformed earlier today by the Minister for Health and Children, who stated that she laid the HSE's national service plan before the Dáil on Wednesday last, 10 December. However, the plan is listed on today's Order Paper and has only just become available from the Oireachtas Library. It was not available...

Is the Minister concerned that more people will now use the public service because of the increases? The measure combines with job...

- Hospital Services. (16 Dec 2008)
Jan O'Sullivan: The Minister has laid the HSE's plan before the House and it is on the Order Paper today.

It seems to me that is much of the problem with the health service currently. In the plan the Minister intends to cut more than...

Jan O'Sullivan: With due respect to the Minister, we cannot live on hope. It is a fact that people present themselves at accident and emergency units. What exactly will change? When people present at accident and emergency units they require treatment or to be dealt with in some fashion. If accident and emergency service hours are being cut back in some hospitals, how will they cope with the numbers of...
