Ceist:104 Ms O'Donnell asked the Minister for Health the specific amendments, if any, that have been proposed to the Medical Practitioners Act, 1978; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18252/95]
Written Answers. - Operation of Act.
, Limerick East): The Medical Practitioners Act, 1978, has now been in force for nearly two decades. An examination of the operation of the Act has revealed the need for substantial amendment of several of its provisions. As indicated in reply to previous parliamentary questions I hope to circulate the heads of new legislation to my colleagues in the Government for their observations in the near future. A Bill to amend the 1978 Act will be published shortly thereafter.
