Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following urgent matter: the serious implications of the disclosure that a number of women who underwent scans at Midlands Regional Hospital, Portlaoise, have now been diagnosed with breast cancer; the procedures being put in place to provide the women concerned with appropriate treatment and counselling; the steps being taken to determine whether any similar failure of screening procedures may have occurred in any other hospitals; and the need for the Minister for Health and Children to outline the steps she intends to take to restore public confidence.
