Joe McHugh (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 12b:

In page 5, after line 33, to insert the following new section:

"3.—The Minister shall as soon as may be after the passing of this Act prepare and lay before both Houses of the Oireachtas a report on the impact of this legislation on patients in Community Units who are admitted for acute medical illness or rehabilitation, e. g. minor stroke or fractured femur where the length of stay exceeds 30 days.".

The passing of the legislation through this Bill reminds me of an old Scalextric set I had when I was introduced to speed for the first time.
