I have notice from Senator Cecilia Keaveney that, on the Adjournment of the House today, she proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health and Children to ensure that patients in Donegal are not disadvantaged in their access to the National Treatment Purchase Fund, given that there seems to be a longer than average waiting time in Letterkenny and a waiting time of longer than three months to qualify.
I have also received notice from Senator Shane Ross of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Finance to outline the plans, if any, he has to put pressure on the banks to make more funds available to small businesses.
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.
