I have received notice from Senator Martin Conway that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to comment on the shortage of community midwives for home births in Ireland.
I have also received notice from Senator Katherine Zappone of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Health to outline his Department’s response to the findings of the HIQA report on the unannounced inspection at Tallaght hospital with regard to the continued concerns about hospital infection controls, safety, hygiene and maintenance, especially in the light of the Ebola outbreak.
I regard the matters raised by the Senators as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and they will be taken at the conclusion of business.
