PQ 66
66. Deputy Derek Keating asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a group of GPs in Dublin recently raised money and brought a mobile TB monitoring unit to the city and carried out random research and to their shock discovered that there was a significant increase in Tuberculosis and particularly an increase in the number of multi-drug resistant Tuberculosis; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that prime time TV carried an extensive programme in which Professor Keane of St. James’s Hospital expressed concern and alert at the rise in Tuberculosis and the fact that there were only a small number of isolation units to treat multi-drug resistant TB; if he will address these issues; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
