Darragh O'Brien (Fianna Fail)

To get back to my original point, assuming the Minister for Health is not taking a line from the Minister, Deputy Shatter, on this, when will he attend the House for a proper debate on regional hospitals, services and psychiatric care? Last week I raised the issue of the psychiatric hospital in Portrane on the north side of Dublin with the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch. While that discussion was useful, this Government does not have a cohesive approach in regard to health and further issues are coming down the line. I cannot understand why the Minister for Health will not attend the House to answers questions and deal with issues which Members of all parties and of none have raised.
