Departmental Investigations. (2 Mar 2006)

Vaccination Programme. (2 Mar 2006)

Liz McManus: I am not aware of any significant adverse effects. Those who are between 66 and 70 years' old and who are above the medical card threshold find that it is the luck of the draw as to whether their doctor charges them. Some are deterred from getting the flu vaccine because their doctors sometimes charge them the full amount. Surely the Minister accepts that it would actually be cost-effective...

Eating Disorders. (2 Mar 2006)

Liz McManus: I thank the Minister of State for his reply but he did not address my concerns about the obesity clinic in St. Columcille's Hospital.

Whistleblowers Protection Bill 1999: Motion. (7 Mar 2006)

Liz McManus: This motion is an important and timely response to a need that has been brought sharply into focus by recent events.
