Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I do not have an indication of a date on the second issue of the patient safety authority, but I will ask the Minister to revert to the Deputy on it. The Deputy is correct in what he said about the Health (Amendment) Bill. The section on the provision of free GP care was taken out of that Bill deliberately because it will be introduced in separate legislation as opposed to through amendment. I expect we should see that Bill before the end of the year.
