Questions on Promised Legislation (25 Oct 2017)

Lisa Chambers: The first line of the health section in the programme for Government refers to access to timely care, which is laughable in a context of waiting lists exceeding 680,000. In my constituency of Mayo, we are in the bizarre position that children cannot even get on to the waiting list for children's physiotherapy services itself. We have 662 children who quality for paediatric physiotherapy, of...

Lisa Chambers: Were we to go down that route and choose the easiest option of requiring a Garda report rather than a formal complaint, would that be sufficient to balance those rights?
