‹ Order of Business Patient safety licensing Bill
Summary
Denis Naughten asks for legislation to regulate eye-surgery providers after serious injuries; the Taoiseach says the patient safety Bill is due next year.
Over the past six years, 19 legal cases have been taken against an eye surgery clinic in this country, where people's eyes have been severely damaged. In order to have this industry regulated in Ireland, we need to bring forward a piece of legislation called the patient safety licensing Bill. When will that legislation be forthcoming so we protect the eyesight of citizens across the country, given it is being damaged by these unlicensed entities?
