During the week, a prominent oncologist left the hospital leaving only one remaining oncologist. An accident and emergency unit has been lying idle for over a year. If we judge these events in the context of the three hallmarks, we have not achieved quality, fairness or easy access. There are other questions I would like to ask when the Tánaiste comes to the House because in focusing on the report, we may take our minds off other issues in regard to the health services.

I congratulate Willie Walsh on his senior appointment with British Airways. It says a lot.
