MRSA Incidence. (18 Oct 2005)

Liz McManus: I would have thought this was significant information that one should have.

MRSA Incidence. (18 Oct 2005)

Liz McManus: While I do not want to delay, I ask that the Tánaiste reconsider this approach. I have no doubt that people die from MRSA but it is not being attributed as the cause of death. We need to know how many because there are clearly cases of individuals who have died from MRSA. It is simply unacceptable that the Minister for Health and Children is unable to tell us how many such cases there are.

Medical Cards. (18 Oct 2005)

Liz McManus: Having heard the Tánaiste say she does not believe in universal benefits, was the reason she supported the over-70s medical card scheme to attract votes in the last general election? She seemed to be overriding her natural inclination against universal benefits. The Government promised 200,000 medical cards. When will we get them?

Vaccination Programme. (18 Oct 2005)

Liz McManus: I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive reply, much of which was not requested. It was an interesting lecture in the background to the issue. Can I have the attention of the Minister of State?

Vaccination Programme. (18 Oct 2005)

Liz McManus: While 48,000 doses of the booster vaccine will be available this October, 180,000 children need it. The immunisation committee is concerned by this. It wrote to the Department in July but this is the amount we are informed about now. Rather than concentrating on extraneous items, how soon will those 180,000 children be provided for? Has the Health Service Executive received the additional...

Vaccination Programme. (18 Oct 2005)

Liz McManus: There are 48,000 doses available now. Within the six months of the campaign, will full cover be provided and accessed by the children in question? Is that what the Minister is saying? A campaign can be many things. I am asking about the release of vaccines.

Liz McManus: Is that the 48,000 doses?

Vaccination Programme. (18 Oct 2005)

Liz McManus: When will it come? That is not much comfort to those not among the 48,000 to receive the vaccine.

Vaccination Programme. (18 Oct 2005)

Liz McManus: Campaigns are one thing. I asked about the delivery of vaccines. There are problems with vaccines in other areas. All I want to know is when the Government will have the full complement.

Order of Business. (19 Oct 2005)

Liz McManus: What is the Taoiseach saying?

Order of Business. (19 Oct 2005)

Liz McManus: It is approximately two and a half years since the pharmacy review group presented its report to Government yet we have seen no sign of legislation in regard to pharmacies. Two Bills are promised. When will they be published? Will they be published together or separately?

Order of Business. (19 Oct 2005)

Liz McManus: For the Taoiseach to say the Bills are listed for next year does not tell us much. Does he mean early next year or late next year? Will it be three or four years before we get the legislation flowing from this report?
