The patient safety (licensing) Bill was approved in principle by the Government in 2017. It came before the health committee in 2018. The pre-legislative scrutiny took place. It was sent to the Attorney General's office but no progress has been made since. RTÉ's "Prime Time" programme on Monday night clearly showed there is a real deficiency in the regulation of cosmetic procedures and the availability of drugs and medication in that whole area. There is an urgent need for that Bill to be brought forward and dealt with. I ask that it be given priority.
