A number of speakers have not had an opportunity to contribute on this important legislation. Why is it not being taken this week in order that we can progress its passage through the House as all Members and parties would wish? People have waited a long time for repayments to issue.

We learned this week that, far from taking international drugs companies to court for providing infected products for haemophiliacs, the Department of Health and Children is further engaging with one such company with regard to the influenza vaccine.
