I support the call for a debate on the Travers report as there is a great deal of public disquiet about the manner in which the Government is handling the issue. It was twice brought to my notice at recent clinics that there are patients in long-stay institutions in the midlands who found no reference to this fact upon contacting the Health Service Executive. This is alarming as the only option left to these two families is to contact their solicitors. The Government is creating this situation.
