Feargal Quinn (Independent)

I welcome the Minister to the House and the opportunity to have this debate. I also welcome his opening statement that the sole objective of the health policy is to deliver access for all to high quality services.

Having listened to Senator Glynn, I realise that I do not know enough about the health services, systems and controls in Ireland. I am a big admirer of his efforts and success in the past. I hope he will excuse me if I do not talk with that knowledge but by trying to draw on the similar knowledge I have in regard to how business works.
