Book of Estimates, 2003: Statements.

 

What has been done in the area of health in the past few years? As Senator Norris said, we set up several health boards in Dublin, filled them with councillors from throughout Dublin and the country and we are now afraid to abolish them. What did these health boards do to deliver a service? The special savings scheme was introduced. Wealthy people are transferring the children's allowance into that account in order to get 25% extra in a couple of years' time to pay off their mortgages. I know of several people who are doing this and are laughing at the system.
