Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Yesterday, I asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Harney, if legislation is intended to address the disparities in regard to the practice of ECT for patients in mental hospitals, and other related matters. Her reply referred to the medical practitioners Bill. Is legislation being prepared to address the use of ECT and the other disparities that exist in regard to addressing the needs of patients with mental health issues?

Second, in which session is it intended that the promised pharmacy Bill will be published?
