Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

I have raised the O'Neill report with the Health Service Executive and will discuss the matter with Professor Brendan Drumm today. If adverse conclusions are drawn from the O'Neill report, our Constitution provides entitlements under natural justice, which I believe everyone would regard as reasonable.

The social services inspectorate will be part of the health information and quality authority legislation, which will appear later this year. I agree with Deputy O'Dowd that ProfessorO'Neill's report should be published.
