Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)

I move amendment No. 54:

In page 54, between lines 19 and 20, to insert the following:

"(2) A complaint shall be made on a form prescribed by the Council and shall contain sufficient particulars to enable the registered medical practitioner to which the complaint relates to respond to the complaint.".

It is stating the obvious but sufficient information and particulars should be supplied in order to enable a medical practitioner to respond to a complaint. This is such a serious matter, there should be a requirement as to the nature of how a complaint is formulated. A complaint must be clear and comprehensive so that can a medical practitioner can respond to it in a way in which justice demands.
