Seanad debates

Wednesday, 26 February 2003

Money is not the problem in the health services. The current Government and its predecessor proved that by substantially increasing spending on health. Unfortunately, problems still exist. Recently I encountered a lady who needed to have a tooth removed. She was told she would have to wait until November to have it done. That is what is happening. She went for private treatment and had the tooth removed the next day. To expect somebody to wait for 11 months with a toothache is unrealistic.
