Medical Practitioners Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages
12:00 pm
Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)
I am aware from experience that if no records were made available, the committee would find itself in a awkward, vulnerable position. It would either make a direction to obtain the records and, if the patient was agreeable, the committee's position would be outlined to the complainant. Not many such circumstances have arisen, but in one case consent was given to have the records made available.
