Who Owns Irish Healthcare?

That is the theme of an excellent conference to be held here in Ennis. I recommend that anyone who gets the chance should go and hear the presentations to be given on this important issue on Friday 19th May next. There will be no charge to members of the public who wish to attend.
The Irish public health system was based on the social notion that the national health system was to be provided through taxation, as a form of insurance where the healthy and able bodied paid for those who needed care, in the knowledge that at some time in the future they too would need care.
