Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the ongoing problems of the ladies who were operated on in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, represented by Patient Focus, a case which is ongoing since January 1998 and includes the issue of missing files and the failure of the Minister to meet the representative group, although I understand this has been rectified. It is also necessary to set up a redress board urgently.
