Amharc ar fhreagraWork on the drafting of the new Medical Practitioners Bill is ongoing. Consultations are taking place between my Department and the Medical Council on a number of issues to be incorporated in the Bill. Following these consultations, a second draft of the Bill will be drafted by Parliamentary Counsel. It is my intention to publish the Bill early next year.
