I understand the Dáil agreed last night that the Report Stage debate of the patient safety Bill would be adjourned until January. That will allow preparation of a new amendment which will place on a statutory basis the requirement for all patients to be informed of their right to a patient requested review of cancer screening. The Minister for Health will want to engage with the Opposition on the detail of that and on the issue of audits. It is a complicated area. We are all on the same side when it comes to this issue. We all want a cancer screening system that works well. There is value in anonymised audits but risks also arise from them. It is a tricky one but there will be engagement from the Government with the Opposition on this because we want to get it right.
