Brian Hayes (Fine Gael)

I have no objection, in principle, to the Order of Business as proposed by the Leader of the House. I wish to raise two issues. The Leader is probably aware that last week there were leaks in the newspapers concerning a Government appointed commission on the health issue, chaired by Professor Niamh Brennan. Within its report very radical changes are set out concerning the management of the health service. It seems that the Minister for Finance, Deputy McCreevy, has won out against the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Martin, in regard to the need for changes in the management structure under one umbrella and a way in which to deliver a health service that is cost-efficient but effective. I ask for an opportunity to debate in the House the report when published. Excellent reports like this are sometimes left on a shelf and never debated in the Houses of the Oireachtas. When published, perhaps the Ministers for Health and Children and Finance will come to the House to debate the issue because it is important to review strategies.
