Pat Moylan (Fianna Fail)

I have notice from Senator Frances Fitzgerald that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to outline the details of the operation of the new scheme to provide a child care place for three year old children, the payment methods, number of available places and the level of uptake in the scheme which she expects from child care providers.

I have also received notice from Senator Geraldine Feeney of the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Health and Children to clarify the reason an expectant mother with private health insurance can only access a private room in a private hospital and not a private room in a public hospital.

I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business.
