A ministerial order is within the terms of the Order of Business.

Regarding No. 82 on the legislative programme, the health (miscellaneous provisions) Bill, over 50 patients are on hospital trolleys in Galway University Hospital awaiting admission. At the same time, inpatients at the hospital from County Roscommon will not be transferred back for treatment to Roscommon County Hospital at which there are vacant beds.
