Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion
Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Social Democrats) | Oireachtas source

Do the witnesses know from their colleagues in the national health service, NHS, the extent to which legislation in the UK has made a difference?
