Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

My question is in the context of legislation. These consultants should be providing an 80% service to public patients but that is not happening. It is not only an issue of the programme for Government; my question is what measures the Taoiseach is prepared to take to ensure adequate monitoring and enforcement of these contracts. Will he consider legislation to ensure there is strict adherence to the terms of the contracts and, if necessary, to ensure there are appropriate penalties for blatant breaches of those terms?
