asked the Minister for Health if he will provide for the appointment of a health ombudsman.
Written Answers. - Health Ombudsman.
67.
I do not consider the appointment of a health ombudsman, per se, to be necessary. The Deputy will be aware that the ombudsman exercises significant functions already in the health area.
I am also, I might say, considering specifically the manner in which complaints generally in relation to the delivery of health services are dealt with.
