Access to Cancer Treatment Bill 2012: Second Stage
6:00 am
Marie Moloney (Labour)
I will withdraw what I said because I am not entirely sure it is the case. It is just what I have been told.
As a person with no medical background, I find it somewhat difficult to follow somebody like Senator Crown who has such an immense knowledge of oncology. It is his field of expertise. However, what chiefly struck me in reading through the Bill was my concern that the provisions in section 3, if enacted, would leave the State open to legal action by a cancer patient or his or her family.
