The Minister has said she will return to certain issues when the Bill is taken in the Dáil. However, will the Bill allow the VHI, without any partners, to set up swift clinics wherever it wishes? Could this lead to a range of swift clinics, which some people might regard as the corporatisation of general practice? Could that process accelerate with the benefit of this legislation?
