I acknowledge that extra resources have been pumped into the health service. There is no question about that. However, the results cannot be seen on the ground. What we see are layers of extra administration and bureaucracy as a result of the spending. One cannot see the results. Those patients who access the A& E services in the Dublin hospitals cannot see them. Often they must spend days, nights and, in some instances, weeks on trolleys. What about the situation where somebody goes to the toilet and when he returns there is another patient on his trolley? This is the type of health service you are presiding over. These are the facts.
