Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The Deputy knows that. It has been rolled out in every emergency department. There is also an obligation on everybody in this House. I have watched health budgets increase exponentially.
In the past three to four years, the health budget has increased dramatically. I think it is up to €8 billion additional or whatever. That is no comfort to Niamh or to other patients but it places an obligation on everybody focused on health policy in terms of the allocation and reforms. Are we really getting outcomes and productivity from that investment?
