The effective abandonment of the health strategy is deplorable and I know that the Minister of State, Deputy Callely, will have a view on this. It seems there was some vigorous debate in Cabinet when the health strategy was being drawn up. We know that the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Martin, won out, with the exception of the caveat inserted by the Minister for Finance that everything in the strategy depended on whether it could be afforded. The Minister decides whether we can afford it. Since he always took the view that health expenditure was a waste of money, it was clear what would happen to the health strategy. It has now been unceremoniously binned, which I deplore.
