Seanad debates

Council Regulation on Procedures for amending the Sirene Manual: Referral to Joint Committee. - Health Service Reform: Statements (Resumed).

 

I thank the Leas-Cathaoirleach for allowing me to speak and thank the Minister for the debate he started. I also thank the Minister of State for all the work he has done, particularly in the area of disability. This has been a very useful debate and the Minister and his officials have done a very good job. They are already visiting health boards and coming to the west next week. It will be useful to see how the new system will work but we must consider its chances of succeeding. People say the same argument could be made for education – that it should be centralised – or agriculture but would it work? The health boards have done a lot of good work. Let us see how we will deal with the new structure.
