Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following urgent matter of national importance, namely, the urgent need to prioritise services for all cystic fibrosis patients; to welcome the extra €2.5 million for cystic fibrosis services at Beaumont Hospital; to welcome the plan to fast-track six beds for St. Mark's ward at St. Vincent's hospital within ten weeks and an extra eight single rooms which will create a total of 14 single rooms available for cystic fibrosis patients by the end of the summer; to call on all Members of the Oireachtas to actively support the proposal to build a dedicated unit at St. Vincent's hospital, Dublin, and the plan to develop other cystic fibrosis services throughout the country in line with international best practice.
