Seanad debates

Address by Ms Mary Banotti, MEP.

 

I am a member of the Committee on Health and Children. Some days ago an innocuous directive was introduced stating that certain medical devices were acceptable. A few weeks beforehand, I read in a medical journal about medical devices that, unfortunately, had been found to promote infection. How can we, as a committee, possibly state that we suppose this is all right? Has Ms Banotti any comments on how we could try to have better research support when considering directives? Directives come in thick and fast, especially to some committees, and we do not want to sign off on them unless we are satisfied.
