Opposition attacks 'censored' report

THE OIREACHTAS Health Committee yesterday published its controversial report into the illegal nursing home charges amid accusations it had been censored to exclude criticism of former Health Minister Mícheál Martin.

In a tense launch at Leinster House, committee members bickered over the manner in which the final report had been voted through.

On Wednesday, Fine Gael and Labour health spokespersons took the unprecedented move of publishing 12 conclusions they said the committee had refused to include in its final report.
