Earlier, the Senator did not acknowledge the new primary care centres that have been built, the changes in the GP contract hours and the provision of medical cards to all children under the age of six.

If the Senator wants to be political, I will have a right political palaver with him about the way his party leader ran out of the Department of Health.
