2. To ask the Minister for Health the reason the Government decided to drop plans by the former Minister for Health, Deputy Reilly, to establish a patient safety authority and who described the proposal as a critical part of any new health service, stating that it must be underpinned by legislation; his views that a patient advocacy agency, as is now suggested, would operate to complement to a patient safety authority that would be equipped to ensure enforcement of the Health Information and Quality Authority, HIQA, standards and recommendations; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
