Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

An electoral reform Bill giving effect to a referendum of the people in 1979 will be published early next year. Work is proceeding on the family leave, health information and health reform Bills. The family leave Bill will be published early next year and the family information Bill will be published later than that. The health reform Bill is being examined by the Minister for Health. In respect of delayed discharges from hospital for those who have been cleared to leave but for whom no step-down facilities are available, €25 million has been provided for that in the budget. The Minister will attend to that matter between now and Christmas.
