Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I agree. The Deputy has raised some valid points. Patient safety should be first and foremost in everything we are doing. It is important to note the fact that the HSE has commissioned a review. I am afraid I do not have the exact details of when it will begin but I can certainly get them for the Deputy. It will look at the service provision, assess the costs of the services, examine the appropriate use of the services and clearly define the parameters for the use of public and private providers. It will look at all the areas of concern raised by Deputy Nolan. I will ask the Minister to come back to Deputy Nolan with the timeframe, an outline of when this will take place and how people can be part of it.
