Fianna Fáil gave medical cards to those earning €5,000 a week.

I refer to the lack of planning in the health service. Currently, there are 1,800 people going into hospitals every day for dialysis, while 250 transplant procedures are carried out each year. In Norway there are only 370 people on dialysis because it has a higher rate of kidney transplants. For ten years Fianna Fáil engaged in no planning, which is the reason we have a dysfunctional health service.
