I propose an amendment to the Order of Business that not only will we take the Second Stage of the Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical Goods) Bill, but in order to prevent ward closures and operations being cancelled, and in order to keep the health service and help deliver the savings, unusually we should take all Stages of the Bill today because it is so urgent. The Minister has delayed it for seven months. It is absolutely inexcusable that it comes in on the last day of term. I ask the Leader to give us some time on it and let us pass all Stages today. Seanad Éireann would be seen to be doing our bit to rectify what the Minister has failed to do.
