A special meeting of a Dáil committee will shortly be convened to discuss the Medical Council's report on the former Drogheda obstetrician, Dr Michael Neary.
The joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children will decide a date for the meeting later this month.
Its chairman, Mr Batt O'Keeffe, said it was natural that the committee would discuss the report given the "significant and traumatic consequences" of its findings.
The report found Dr Neary (61) guilty of professional misconduct over the unnecessary removal of 10 patients' wombs.
It revealed that the doctor, who has now been struck off the medical register, carried out one Caesarean hysterectomy for every 20 Caesarean sections he conducted between 1993 and 1998. The rate at the Coombe was one per 600.
The Oireachtas committee held private hearings on the Neary affair in 2001. Both Patient Focus, the support group for many of the women operated on by Dr Neary, and the North Eastern Health Board appeared before it.
The health board disclosed that 65 legal actions were pending as a result of allegations against Dr Neary, who practised at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, from 1974 to 1998.
One of those actions has now concluded. Ms Alison Gough (37), from Ardee, Co Louth, was awarded more than €223,000 earlier this year when she took a civil action against Dr Neary for unnecessarily removing her womb.
The Medical Council was also questioned about the length of time it was taking to inquire into Dr Neary when it appeared before the Oireachtas committee last March. Its inquiry took three years.
Following an appeal yesterday from Labour's health spokeswoman, Ms Liz McManus, for the committee to now consider the Medical Council's final report, Mr O'Keeffe said the Neary affair was "unfinished business" as far as the committee was concerned.
"I'm certainly going to respond positively to her request," he said. But he said the committee would take into account any other inquiries which were put in place.
The Minister for Health, Mr Martin, is likely to announce an inquiry into the whole affair after he meets Patient Focus later this month.
"The last thing we want is two separate inquiries, but we will be discussing the report and its findings in full," he said.
