Health (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2004: Second Stage.

 

11:00 am

Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)

Perhaps the Minister of State's aunt will have some stories for which to answer when she speaks.

The blame game has begun. The lack of accountability in this area is appalling. The Minister has released minutes of the meeting at which this issue was discussed but I contend that this is a consequence of Fine Gael's submission under the freedom of information legislation. There is no evidence of a rush to transparency. This meeting was attended by Ministers of State in the Department and the previous Minister, Deputy Martin, although he arrived late.
