European Convention on Human Rights Bill 2001: Report and Final Stages.
On numerous occasions it has gone badly wrong and now the State is paying for public patients to be treated in private hospitals – it is not as though they have wished themselves into this situation. The State has purchased the treatment for them, yet apparently they will not be covered by the same legislation as public patients being treated in a public hospital. I require no deathbed conversion; I wish the Government good health and hope the amendment will be accepted.
