Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Minister for Health has already announced that all deaths in maternity hospitals will be subject to an external review, which is necessary and welcome. It is also a provision of the national maternity strategy which was published not too long ago. I am advised by the Chief Whip and the Minister for Justice and Equality that this legislation is on the A list and that he intends to publish it this month. If it is published this month, we can perhaps get it through the Houses sooner rather than later. I have no doubt the Deputy will hold us to account in that regard.
