Pharmacy Regulations. (31 Jan 2006)

Liz McManus: Question 128: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if a submission has been received on the extent of the current risk to patients in view of the fact that for animals there is full protection from malpractice in the pharmaceutical sector while for humans there is not, and that there is no statutory fitness to practise or fitness to operate legislation on pharmacy; the...

Pharmacy Regulations. (31 Jan 2006)

Liz McManus: Will the Minister accept that there is an urgency to this matter? Does she not find it extraordinary that animals here have better protection against pharmacy malpractice than humans? Does she not have a serious concern that the registry body has no power to strike pharmacists off the register? It has power only to put people on the register. In its estimate, two to three pharmacists should...

Accident and Emergency Services. (31 Jan 2006)

Liz McManus: The Taoiseach recently stated publicly: People say so what, what about Joe and Mary down in A&E. They shouldn't be on a waiting list. I think it's a pity that people are so unintelligent, actually. Does the Tánaiste agree with him?

Accident and Emergency Services. (31 Jan 2006)

Liz McManus: I would hate to see the Taoiseach not being sensitive if that is the kind of statement he can make about distressed relatives. Let us deal with the real and measurable improvements the Tánaiste promised would occur within months of her statement last January. How many minor injury units and chest pain and respiratory clinics have been provided and where are they located? Is the MRI scanner...

Hospitals Building Programme. (31 Jan 2006)

Liz McManus: Does the Minister accept that what she is doing is deepening the divide between public and private patients within the health service? This will surely raise questions for her with regard to entitlement. She must be aware that everybody in the country, including the Minister, is entitled to access public care. Is she being naive in thinking that by building private hospitals on public land,...

Order of Business. (1 Feb 2006)

Liz McManus: Is the Taoiseach aware that animals have protection against pharmacy malpractice while human beings do not? There are enough scandals littering the health service scene without our having a malpractice-related scandal in the pharmacy sector. Will the Taoiseach fast-track the legislation to provide for fitness-to-practice and fitness-to-operate guidelines for pharmacists? There is no...

Order of Business. (7 Feb 2006)

Liz McManus: While the Taoiseach may not be embarrassed by the M50 debacle, I wonder whether he is embarrassed by the fact that elderly people and their relatives come to our clinics wondering when they will receive the money robbed from them. I am embarrassed because I told them the legislation would be introduced last autumn. That was what the Minister for Health and Children told me. I then told them...
