Seanad debates

Wednesday, 18 June 2003

When is it proposed to have full statements on the health strategy, now nothing more than an election strategy and proven as such? When will the Minister for Health and Children inform the House of the allegedly fundamental changes he will make to the health service? The key issues concern improving the service for our people, delivering on the Government's commitments for an additional 3,000 beds, 200,000 extra medical cards and the elimination of waiting lists within two years. These are all pipe dreams. We want to debate the real health strategy issues, not some cosmetic changes which will not make a difference to people's health. I ask for a debate on this issue.
