James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

The Minister promised that the review would be ready in June but it was since delayed to September. Today she informs us that it will be published at some point in the future. That is not acceptable to the people of Tallaght who want a definite date by which they will be made aware of the contents of the report. Will the Minister set out a firm date on which the report will be made available?

The Health Information and Quality Authority, HIQA, was supposed to produce a report on how letters should be dealt with in future. What is the status of that report? I have been requested by Dignity 4 Patients to inquire into the standing of the report promised to that organisation last year.
