It is 15 months since the gender recognition advisory group reported and five years since the Lydia Foy case. When will the heads of the gender recognition Bill, which will address this issue, be published to deal with the findings of this group and the courts? The Minister for Social Protection had indicated that the heads of the Bill would be before the relevant committee this autumn and that time is almost up.

That is the case. The heads of the Bill are being drafted. I will find out precisely where that process is and communicate with the Deputy. The intention is to have them before the committee before the end of the year.
