Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

In the review being suggested, will the Minister deal with stakeholders and organisations which represent families who have gone through this? There is a sense that a consultant's letter rather than a GP's letter is all that is accepted. This is an insult to GPs and I would not say their representative bodies are too happy. Will the Minister confirm whether this is the case? Another aspect is the long waiting lists to see consultants, after which is a waiting list for the typing pool and yet another waiting list when the application is made. An undue amount of time is spent waiting.
