Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael)

Can the Leader invite the Minister for Health and Children to the House today? We have spoken about the relevance of Seanad Éireann. Everybody is talking about cutbacks in the universality of medical card provision. This is the second Chamber of the Oireachtas, yet we cannot debate that fundamental issue. It does us no service. I implore the Leader to invite the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Harney, to the House today.
