The Government has been accused of guillotining a Dáil debate to rush through "flawed" open disclosure legislation.

The Patient Safety Bill, which will require the mandatory open disclosure of serious patient safety incidents, has been allocated just two hours for debate on Wednesday to go through more than 50 Government amendments.
