James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following urgent matter: the discontinuance from 1 October 2009 and without prior notification of the hardship scheme under which patients were supplied with essential medication, leaving those unable to pay without access to medicines which could be life saving; and the need for an alternative plan to be put in place immediately to cover hardship cases before lives are lost.
