Statement from the Minister for Health Simon Harris on Cross-Party Health Motion
The Minister for Health Simon Harris is positively considering the motion submitted today to establish a cross-party committee on developing a 10-year plan for the health service.
"It is extremely encouraging in the 32nd Dail to see a consensus emerging on the health service. I have made it very clear that I want to see consensus on a 10-year plan for the health service and I am currently considering the motion with a view to encompassing thoughts and ideas of my own and reflecting the Programme for Government agreed with our Independent partners. I am committed to working positively with the opposition to make progress on establishing this committee as quickly as possible."
