HIQA medical radiation remit

Summary

Peter Fitzpatrick asks when legislation extending HIQA’s remit to medical ionising radiation and private healthcare standards will be published. The Taoiseach says its heads have not reached Cabinet but are expected later in the year.

When will the Bill amending the Health Act 2007, the purpose of which will be to extend HIQA's remit to include functions with regard to medical ionising radiation protection and the setting and monitoring of standards for private or independent health care providers, be published?
