Muscular Dystrophy Registry. (4 Nov 2009)

Jan O'Sullivan: We all want to see progress on this issue and I welcome the fact the Minister of State has engaged with it. The condition affects a relatively small number of people but it would make a huge difference to their lives if we can have a proper register, a dedicated clinician and get them directly linked to the trials. To achieve this, we need a commitment to be shown on behalf of the...

Vaccination Programme. (4 Nov 2009)

Jan O'Sullivan: I am alarmed and surprised that it could take up to eight months to vaccinate the entire population. That is a long time during a pandemic. Is there no way to do it quicker?
