Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick East, Fine Gael)

I would like to see the backbenchers supporting us on this. If they feel so committed on the issue they should do so. Unfortunately, we have no vote today, but I feel strongly about this issue and I would like to hear the Minister's comments. Will she put in place an independent body that has no preconditions and will consider what is best for the welfare of patients? That is our primary concern.
