The HSE needs to deliver the services, not to outsource it.
Like we've been told we're getting an X-ray unit.
which is very welcome.
That's coming to Balbriggan, absolutely fantastic.
But it will be operated by a private entity.
It will only operate in certain confined hours and only by a referral from your GP.
So it's not a walk-in service.
It's not community-based.
And the people in my constituency are still going to have to go to Beaumont, where there's queues, or up to Drogheda, where there's also queues.
We're kind of saying something very simple.
Community-based care is really important and it also takes the pressure off the hospital.
So, you know, that's what Sláinte Care was about.

You have to see where the government are putting the money.
They put a lot of money into agency staff, a lot of money into outsourcing.

Well, I think, you know, obviously this is an initiative of Vanguardia Siocana, so it's separate to defence.
But I think the issue around defence, when I think about it, I think about the people that I know and the men and women in my own area who are members of the defence forces.
They find themselves in a situation where the numbers are decreasing.
because it's not an attractive place to work.
