‹ Order of Business Healthcare facilities licensing Bill
Summary
Michael Healy-Rae asks about concerns that mandatory licensing will burden private healthcare facilities; the Taoiseach says the Bill is expected next year.
The proposed licensing of health care facilities Bill is to provide for a mandatory system of licensing for public and private health care facilities. Some private health care facilities have expressed concern that this will impose an undue burden and a further layer of bureaucracy for them to deal with in their already struggling businesses. I seek clarity from the Taoiseach regarding the Bill.
