Bernard Durkan Deputy Bernard J. Durkan Fine Gael

My question is about the promised health identifiers Bill, which will provide for an identification system throughout the health services through a single and unique identifier. Have the heads of the Bill been discussed and has it been progressed? When can we expect it to be brought before the House?
