I would like the person in Ballyshannon to be able to have a baby delivered with the same access to obstetrician services as the people in Dublin. They are entitled to that. As it stands under the policy driven by the Minister, if a person has a heart attack in those locations, his or her chance of surviving is less than that of people elsewhere. The Minister may laugh all he likes. He can cast his mind to the debates in which he participated as an Opposition Member and ask himself if he is being fair to the people of the north west. We found him out and this is his report, on which he spent money on behalf of the people.
