I am not an expert in the health area. Any time Senator Crown speaks in this House on one of his areas of expertise, his word is good enough for me. As the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, said, he is working at the coalface. His remarks this evening seem to be at variance with the written script provided by the Department of Health. The Minister of State is always welcome in this House. She is a long-standing friend and colleague of mine. I have rarely seen her so uncomfortable when reading a script. She departed from it on a number of occasions. She almost distanced herself from it.
