It is over a year since the CervicalCheck scandal was made public following the case that Vicky Phelan took to the High Court. Two significant commitments were given by the Government at the time - to set up a CervicalCheck tribunal and to introduce a patient safety Bill that would provide for mandatory open disclosure. The general scheme of the tribunal Bill was published this month, but when can the Dáil expect the Bill proper to be finalised, completed and debated in the Dáil? Is it the intention of the Government that it would be completed and passed before the summer recess? In terms of the patient safety Bill, heads were approved last July. Will the Taoiseach confirm whether the Bill will be before the Dáil ahead of the summer recess?
