Last night, there was a very important debate in the House. I must put on record again that Sinn Féin welcomes the fact that the Minister for Health accepted some of our concerns regarding the Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019 and has now agreed to bring forward an amendment to deal with one of the issues we raised. That is very much welcome.

I am also conscious that, as I speak, this is a very difficult day for Stephen Teap, who has just agreed a settlement in relation to the laboratories and the HSE. He never gave up and never stopped battling on behalf of his wife, Irene. It is for people like Irene and Stephen Teap, Vicky Phelan and so many others that we have a huge weight of responsibility to work together and collectively get this legislation right.

There are other concerns with this legislation regarding the anonymised audits that would take place in that there is no duty to inform the women or individuals in that case. It is up to the individual to seek a review if he or she so wishes. I ask the Government to engage with us and others and with the campaign group to make sure we get this legislation right on behalf of everybody who has battled for such causes.

I understand the Dáil agreed last night that the Report Stage debate of the patient safety Bill would be adjourned until January. That will allow preparation of a new amendment which will place on a statutory basis the requirement for all patients to be informed of their right to a patient requested review of cancer screening. The Minister for Health will want to engage with the Opposition on the detail of that and on the issue of audits. It is a complicated area. We are all on the same side when it comes to this issue. We all want a cancer screening system that works well. There is value in anonymised audits but risks also arise from them. It is a tricky one but there will be engagement from the Government with the Opposition on this because we want to get it right.
