Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

When will the health (amendment) Bill, which provides for the phased extension of publicly funded GP services, be published and brought before the Dáil? This is the legislation associated with one of the central criticisms by the former Minister of State, Deputy Róisín Shortall, of the Minister for Health, Deputy James Reilly. Second, when does the Government expect the constitutional convention to meet? We were led to believe it would convene at the end of this month, but there has been no subsequent communication and that timeframe is now clearly redundant. Can the Minister indicate a time line for progress?
