Description
Health Minister Dr. Noel Browne proposed a new mother & baby scheme that would lead an Irish government into political chaos in 1950. If introduced, it would have allowed free health care to mothers & their children up until the age of 16. In the end, the scheme failed, but who exactly was to blame; the doctors, politicians or bishops? (1980)
