Tá sin ceart go leor. Where is the health information Bill, which has been renamed the health information and patient Safety Bill? Almost two and half years ago, the Taoiseach, who was at that time the Minister for Health, was quoted as confirming that approval had been given in respect of the heads of the Bill and that it was specifically designed, among other things, to alleviate public concern about the safety and quality of some services provided in the private health sector and, in particular, to allow the private hospitals to come under the ambit of the Health Information and Quality Authority, HIQA. What progress has been made on that Bill?
