Mary Harney
Ceist:14 Miss Harney asked the Minister for Health his views on the impact of the regulations signed by him on 28 March 1996, allowing psychiatric patients only 100 days health insurance cover in hospitals per year; the impact, if any, this will have on the families of such patients and the community at large in view of the fact that our health insurance providers should not be permitted in law to discriminate in this manner; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
