Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-15
============================================================

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

We would actually be exposing patients to not being able to use the processes that are in place. We all agree that the complaint should still go to a professional body but should also be something that is dealt with by the HSE. It is not within the remit of the Bill to address that. It is something that has to be looked at in a way that works for patients. Simply deleting a specific sub-clause of the 2004 Act will not give us what we want for patients.
