Will the Minister, in conjunction with the Health Service Executive, put checks in place to ensure every system and department in the HSE is accountable to prevent future health crises relating to cancer services, hygiene and so forth? Will warning letters be acted on in future? Does the Minister accept that dedicated beds are required in cancer care centres? Will she invest in laboratories in this country so they may become accredited, instead of investing in US laboratories which is another variation of the National Treatment Purchase Fund? When will there be a primary health care centre in Oranmore to replace the current sub-standard, rat infested centre built in the 1950s?
