Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. He is correct that one of the most tangible things this Oireachtas could do is pass legislation to provide for mandatory open disclosure in the health service of serious, reportable incidents. I will go to the Cabinet on Tuesday for permission to draft such legislation.

I have separated it from the broader Bill to which the Deputy referred in order that we can prioritise it and get it through quickly. I will be happy to work with him in that regard.
