Accident and Emergency Services
5:00 pm
Liam Twomey (Fine Gael)
I have been made aware from my contacts that there is a crisis in terms of the budget and the lack of availability of junior doctors, but that was not addressed in the Minister's reply. She should have been informed of that before she delivered her reply. Clearly, that crisis has been covered up in that it has not been admitted nor addressed. It was not dealt with in the Minister's reply. Most of her reply covered information contained in the HSE south-east report. The oncology unit, to which she referred, was paid for by the people of Wexford — they raised funds for it. I am disappointed that someone did not give the Minister an adequate answer to address what I know the HSE is talking about behind closed doors right now.
