Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I want to raise the issue of the patient safety Bill. Members will acknowledge and remember that recently, at the time of the death of Vicky Phelan, the Taoiseach reiterated a Government promise to achieve full open disclosure. The legislation is to come before the House and the debate is to be guillotined. The Minister for Health has tabled 50 separate amendments but the one amendment we need to see to prescribe in law the absolute obligation for full open disclosure is not there. The legislation means that a discordant, erroneous or incorrect cancer screening will become a notifiable incident but the duty of candour is not there.
