Charlie O'Connor (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

We are putting in place a patient safety structure that is a comprehensive system, including information needs, quality assurance and value for money. Considerable progress in respect of inspection of nursing homes is being made by the HSE. However, there should be some acknowledgement of the considerable work being implemented by the various bodies mentioned by the Minister and me. I am glad that such prominent members of the Opposition and would-be Ministers are here to listen.
