Varadkar: “I would happily stay on as Health Minister if Fine Gael are elected back into Government”




The current Minister for Health and Fine Gael TD Leo Varadkar has said he would happily stay on in his current role if Fine Gael are to re-elected back into Government.

Although, Mr Varadkar expressed his desire to have the necessary resources along with the authority to make the necessary decisions regarding the health sector. Mr Varadkar’s comments come as he went on the record once again to state that it will take a number of years along with sustained investment to fix the ailing health service.

Mr Varadkar told reporters: “Not alone is there not any quick fix but even a whole year of planning and a year of doing those things that I’ve outlined isn’t going to be enough.” “If I’m given the opportunity I’d be happy to be reappointed but I’d want to have both the resources and the authority to make the decisions that need to be made and that isn’t always the case as a line minister.”
