62 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Health and Children if the primary concern of policy determined by her or the Health Service Executive is of an economic nature rather than the need to address the requirements of patients; if, as would appear from recent statements, there is a tendency to place the greater emphasis on the cost regardless of the need to deliver the full spectrum of services as required to the community; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that in other jurisdictions a major effort is made to eliminate administration associated with waiting lists and instead concentrate on delivery of services in the first instance thereby creating greater efficiency and patient care; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
