Seanad: Order of Business. (17 Nov 2004)

Brian Hayes: I thank the Leader for agreeing to change the starting time for No. 3. The change was required because our spokesperson could not be in two places at the one time.

This is a shocking and bloody murder and I want to extend our...

Seanad: Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Second Stage (Resumed). (10 Nov 2004)

Brian Hayes: That is the great dilemma in our free health care system. When the health and social care professionals council has been established, medical scientists will have to deal with this issue in terms of general practice. Why is the wide variety of cost to families and consumers who use the GP service acceptable? I ask the Irish Medical Organisation to take up this issue. It is not acceptable for...

It involves a 28 year old lone parent from my constituency who, some years ago,...
