Summary
Seamus Healy reports 24 patients on trolleys and asks whether legislation will reopen 31 closed beds; the Taoiseach says the GP-funding Bill is due this session.
This morning 24 patients are on trolleys in South Tipperary General Hospital. Other patients are awaiting admission, a number of whom are in the accident and emergency department. When will the health (amendment) Bill be brought before the House? Will it provide for the reopening of the 31 closed beds in the hospital to which I refer?
