The Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly appeared on Morning Ireland where he defended the HSE despite a number of ongoing struggles in the system.
Minister Donnelly revealed he is to seek Cabinet approval to legislate for the abolishment of public hospital charges and also commented on the damning report into youth mental health services released yesterday.
The interim report, carried out by the Inspector of Mental Health Services, Dr Susan Finnerty, was published by the Mental Health Commission (MHC) on Monday and revealed the state is failing children in Ireland.
