Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

Deputy James Reilly published the Medical Practitioners (Professional Indemnity) Bill - a private Member's Bill - on 8 July 2009. Officials of the Department have been in discussion with the Attorney General's office and are currently preparing a memorandum for Government seeking approval of the proposed amendments and of the provisions set out generally in Deputy Reilly's Bill. That draft memorandum should be ready early next month.
