Anne Rabbitte (FF), Galway East

I finished by saying I issued an email. It was issued in the context of wanting the process to work. The process has to work and not only for St. John of God Community Services. I have to believe that in the Department and in the HSE under the leadership of Bernard Gloster, the process works. It is one thing to ensure we have sustainability to deliver services. The other part of the process is to address the outstanding deficit. I wish both parties, St. John of God and the HSE, well. I believe both want a positive solution and both look at having the person at the centre, as does Senator Boyhan and as do I. We cannot be sellotaping on a year-by-year basis. We need a long-term solution and I am committed to this.
