Will the Taoiseach comment on remarks made by Dr. Gabriel Scally at the weekend to the effect that Ireland's adversarial system for dealing with medical error is not fit for purpose? Dr. Scally has suggested the introduction of a no-fault compensation scheme, particularly to deal with screening errors but also with rare serious vaccination consequences. People present for screening or vaccination voluntarily for their own good and also for the common good. Will the Government consider the development of a no-fault compensation scheme to avoid costly litigation and extremely distressing legal proceedings?
