New Government “Stole Social Democrats Health Policy” – Shortall

Roisin Shortall has accused Simon Harris of stealing the Social Democrats plans for the Health service.

In one of his first interviews since he was appointed Minister for Health in the new Cabinet on Friday, Fine Gael's Simon Harris, claimed he had a 10-year plan for the sector.

He also said he needed cross-party support for his ideas and promised to take politics out of the portfolio.

Among the other changes we could see is an extension of free GP care to the under 12s by the end of this year, and free visits for under 18s within the lifetime of the Government.

But Co-leader of the Social democrats Roisin Shortall says the plans came from her party.

Meanwhile, a finalised Programme for Government could be published as early as tomorrow, while plans for the first 100 days in office could be released before the end of the month.

Focus Ireland has set out a range of measures through which the the newly formed Government can tackle the spiralling housing and homelessness crisis.

The charity claims that nearly 300 families with 600 children became homeless in the first 3 months of this year alone in Dublin.
