James Reilly
Question:257 Deputy James Reilly asked the Minister for Health and Children if she will report on the issue of medical negligence insurance for medical practitioners; if such insurance is obligatory; if the Medical Council can as of right demand evidence that such insurance is in place before a doctor is given a licence to practise; if she will confirm that there is no loophole in regulations that would allow medical practitioners to practise without professional medical negligence insurance; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
