Meeting to discuss women’s issues

HSE chief executive Brendan Drumm yesterday agreed to hold a special meeting with female TDs and senators to discuss their concerns over women’s health issues.

The meeting, expected to take place within the next month, was suggested by Labour Party deputy leader Joan Burton during the three-hour meeting between parliamentarians and the health services chief.

It will be chaired by Ceann Comhairle John O’Donoghue.
