Health services are at the top of the public and political agenda in Ireland. They dominate media coverage, incite passion and protests, and either enable or prevent people from living longer, healthier lives. Yet much of the rhetoric and discussion is confused; much of the spin inaccurate. Most people are unable to understand why the Irish health system is the way it is.
