The Health Minister insists the government remains committed to implementing universal healthcare - despite the latest Slaintecare resignation.

Professor Anthony O'Connor quit its implementation advisory council yesterday, after two senior members resigned early last month.

The high-profile consultant was disappointed with the pace of the project, but Stephen Donnelly says Sláintecare is still the roadmap for health reform.

Professor Bill Tormey, a consultant in Beaumont Hospital, says the Minister should order a review of the project.

"I think he should get Slaintecare back to a Dail committee to see what they're going to do next.

"I think all parties should have input into this, and they should get people how know about economics, they should bring in the secretary of the department of health, they should bring in Colin McCarthy to actually tell them about economics and go and look at what they're spending and what the efficiency ratios are in all of the hospitals.

"I think they could do with a lean study across the hospitals which would shake out a lot of people doing nothing."!
