Martin accuses Health Minister of misleading Dáil

Fianna Fáil Leader Micheál Martin has today accused the Minister for Health of misleading the Dáil over this year's spending plans for the health service.

It comes as correspondence published in today's Irish Times showed that outgoing HSE chief Cathal Magee wrote a number of letters to the Department of Health, asking for guidance on how to reduce costs and curtail services.
