Health (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage
Dail Éireann — 2023-03-22
============================================================

Patricia Ryan (SF), Kildare South

That is simply unacceptable. The Government needs to do more for older people to treat and support them in the community. I urge the Minister to act now to increase staffing levels and invest urgently in GP capacity and primary care facilities, particularly in County Kildare, where we need to ease the pressure of the acute services.
I am sorry; I am afraid the Minister probably did not hear anything I said because he was talking to the Ceann Comhairle. That is very disingenuous. I have to say that; I am sorry.
