James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

Under the proposed health amendment Bill, will the current HIQA report on Cork University Hospital, which will, I hope, be published on 18 December, be discussed in the House before Christmas? Will the Taoiseach inform the House of the reason the House has not yet had access to the Dr. Ann O'Doherty report despite unqualified assurances? When will we have sight of said report? Will the planned legislation on HIQA, the health amendment Bill, ensure the organisation's reports or inquiries into the health service are not bogged down by legal wrangling or attempts at sanitisation? Will he also indicate when another HIQA report on the Galway hospital will be available?
