Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 October 2019
424. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Health if he will request an investigation into the way in which the Medical Council dealt with the case of a person (details supplied) as highlighted by RTÉ recently. [42039/19]
View answerMy thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to the family in the case referred to by the Deputy.
Under the Medical Practitioners Act 2007, the Medical Council has statutory responsibility for the regulation of registered medical practitioners in Ireland, including managing complaints made about doctors. As Minister I do not have a role in relation to individual cases addressed by the Medical Council. Following the recent RTE programme, I understand that the Council is seeking a meeting with the family.
