Cabinet yesterday endorsed the Meenan report and approved the establishment of a tribunal. The Minister for Health hopes to be able to appoint the judge who will chair that tribunal very soon. It seems that because primary legislation will be required to set up the tribunal it will take a number of months before it is actually established on a statutory basis and is able to operate. We will need the co-operation of the Houses to make that happen.
