Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

No, that is not the case. There is a whole range of reasons why certain hospitals, because of size, nature etc., will dictate to a large extent outside of the control of any authority where junior doctors will go into service. We need to have a more realistic debate about it. Fundamentally, if we can do it from the objective that the patient gets the best care and the best outcome, surely that is what we should all be agreed on in this House. I look forward to the debate on that.
