Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Given that we have been waiting for years for two key pieces of legislation promised, in the autumn 2007 programme, for 2008, I now find that in the new programme just published it is stated that it is not possible to indicate when they will be published. This is all about people's rights to access health and social services. I am speaking of the eligibility for health and personal social services Bill and the health information Bill. Perhaps the Taoiseach would take my concerns on board. They are not unique to me.
