254 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Health and Children if she ever again intends to reply directly to a parliamentary question relating to what the Health Service Executive might refer to as the day to day running of the health services, which in fact is the total annual cost divided by 365; if she accepts that the current policy of failure to accept direct responsibility for the funding she and her Department provides has culminated in the disintegration of the level and quality of health services at every level, the complete disenchantment of the public with its quality and standards and the frustration and confusion of those within the HSE who continue to strive to provide services against this backdrop; if she will even now at this stage take the responsibility for running the health services directly back into her Department where openness, transparency and accountability should and can be provided in this House; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
