Council Regulation on Procedures for amending the Sirene Manual: Referral to Joint Committee. - Health Service Reform: Statements (Resumed).
Officials in the Department of Health should talk to Deputy Jim Glennon who set up Medisec, a medical indemnity scheme for general practitioners. The fees for that were very small when they started, but after five years the amount of money general practitioners had to pay to be part of the scheme had to be doubled. This is one area that I am particularly sorry neither report has addressed. The Minister's Department pays a fortune for that, as he well knows.
