Seanad debates

Health Services: Motion.
The Minister went directly to the core of the issue when referring to technology, which is now at a state of development and cost which precludes delivery at every local centre throughout the country. That is impossible in relation to MRI scans, to which particular reference was made. There are more cars in this country than ever before and the people are more mobile than ever. We cannot locate some of these facilities in every area. Would it not be better to buy four helicopters and close down a few hospitals? Would that not be better in terms of delivering the leading edge technology required to ensure that people who are under grave threat can be protected?
