It is no coincidence that some of those very relevant issues, including autism, which we will debate tomorrow — I thank the Leader for allowing time for a debate on autism, which is a major improvement — the pharmacies and adoption of foreign children, which I raised last night, end with the Health Service Executive. It would be relevant if we debated not only the Lisbon treaty, which is a good point, but also the HSE, which appears to be a blockage in the progress of so many people's lives and on so many issues. If we are bringing people into the House to debate the Lisbon treaty, why do we not invite the representatives of the HSE and put them under scrutiny because it is relevant and it would make us more relevant?
