Neary redress review delay
Senator Moran asks the Health Minister to address the prolonged delay in reviewing the cases of 35 women excluded from the original Neary redress scheme.
I would just like to say that I welcome the news.
I agree with Senator Darragh O'Brien in that I, too, would like the Minister for Health to come to the House to discuss several health issues which are very pertinent and need to be discussed at the first possible opportunity. Last night, I attended a meeting run by Patient Focus in regard to the women who were excluded from the original Neary redress scheme. The Minister for Health promised these 35 women that he would publish the results of an immediate review. Almost eight months have gone by and we still have no word. I raised the issue on the Adjournment but I call on the Minister again to come to the House to answer some questions.
