David Cullinane: “Women should have access to abortion services on the basis of their own choice”

The current system is unfair and inconsistent. We need one national policy. The Government should fund a phased end to hospital parking charges.

I have published legislation to require the National Treatment Purchase Fund to publish community waiting lists every month, because we need the same level of transparency for primary and community care as we expect for hospitals.

This cannot become another HSE review that produces a report while the underlying problems remain.

The HSE itself is now acknowledging serious concerns being raised by staff about bullying, harassment, discrimination and levels of trust within the organisation.
