‹ Order of Business Health information Bill and cystic fibrosis care
Summary
Finian McGrath asks about the health information Bill and reports that six cystic fibrosis patients were sent home because of insufficient beds; the Taoiseach says the Bill is due in the middle of next year.
What is the timetable for the publication of the health information Bill? Last night I received information that six cystic fibrosis patients were sent home from St. Vincent's Hospital because there were no beds for them in the new €22 million unit. Is the Taoiseach aware six patients were sent home?
Comment on this
Six cystic fibrosis patients were sent home and treated in an appalling way. This is unacceptable, particularly when a new €22 million unit has just been opened.
