Speaking on the launch of new national clinical guidelines, the Minister said that Fine Gael and Labour will stay in government together until the next scheduled general election.
“The Taoiseach has been very clear about this [issue]. The plan of the Government is to go to full term and to have the election in March or April 2016.”
Mr Varadkar’s claim followed his announcement of new national guidelines aimed at standardising clinical practices.
