Conference calls for urgency on reform of 'painfully slow' medical negligence process

As patients and doctors continue to face a “brutal” legal process for medical issues in Ireland, the Government has been urged to move on long-delayed reforms.

It is 10 years since legislation was introduced which could have seen better access to mediation brought in.
