Vol. 420 No. 9

Written Answers. - Patients' Charter.

Bernard Allen

Question:

145 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health if he will outline the steps he is taking to introduce a patients' charter; and if he will make a statement on a survey presently being carried out by an international medical group, the Toronto Group, which is conducting a survey of patient rights in its member states which include Ireland, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and many of the Nordic countries.

I would refer the Deputy to my statement in this House on 13 May, 1992 indicating that a patient's charter is at an advanced stage of preparation. My Department has been unable to obtain any information on the group in question.
