Seanad debates

Wednesday, 26 February 2003

Politicians in this House have been just as territorial about this debate as are consultants, administrators, etc., about their areas of expertise. We have managed to see the mote in every eye except our own. Members have repeatedly spoken of the lack of one health facility or another in their respective areas. The focus always came down to a Member's area. That is very clearly indicative of the deficiency in the health board system. We cannot close a hospital or have rationalisation within the system because there are too many vested interests working to ensure that this will not happen.
