Order of Business. (1 Mar 2006)

Liam Twomey: On the Neary case, concerns were raised about the doctor over a 20-year period. When can we expect the health legislation to which the Taoiseach referred to come before the House? The Medical Defence Union will receive the protection of the courts in not paying out to Dr. Neary's victims. When can we expect legislation on a redress board to come before the House?

Order of Business. (1 Mar 2006)

Liam Twomey: A cosy consensus between the three Dublin obstetricians and Dr. Neary leaves a bitter taste for doctors and patients.

Could the Taoiseach involve the health spokespersons in the House in drafting the heads of that Bill?

Hospital Staff. (2 Mar 2006)

Liam Twomey: Has the Department ever seriously considered extending the consultants' working day from its current format of 8 a.m. to whenever?

Hospital Staff. (2 Mar 2006)

Liam Twomey: My question has not been answered. The idea was to extend the core working day. Discussions on this issue went back to 1999 when we first raised the idea of extending the consultants' core working day. That seems to have fallen off the radar completely. Why is that the case?
