Shaun Woodward Quotations

More doctors mean a better service for patients,

I found the experience of walking into a busy Dublin pub at lunchtime a real treat,

I say to smokers, smoke if you wish to - but not at work, and not in enclosed public spaces,

I would hope this would help some of my ministerial colleagues who would be cautious about going down this route. Over the past five months as minister for health I can see the people of Northern Ireland are as progressive as any other part of the UK can be.

Bar and restaurant owners do not have to wait until 2007 to do the responsible thing. Right now they can put up signs saying no smoking.

By increasing the capacity of the medical school at Queen's, we are able to increase substantially the number of students entering medical training, and this in turn will mean more doctors trained in Northern Ireland and hopefully choosing to make their careers here.
