In the context of the national pediatric hospital development board Bill, I ask the extent to which the national children's hospital plan has progressed. Have the relevant targets been met in terms of the schedule to date and when are we likely to see further progress?

My other old chestnut is the bail Bill, an issue I have raised on a number of occasions. I ask for the current status of the Bill. Is it likely to be brought before the House in the near future and to what extent has progress been made since I last raised the issue?

On the children's hospital Bill, the design team is in place and working very well. The project is on track. I cannot give a date for publication of the Bill, but it is very much under control. The sod will be turned for the Central Mental Hospital next year.

I do not have a date for the bail Bill. The Deputy has raised the matter on numerous occasions. I will investigate the current stage of completion of the work involved. As the Deputy will be aware, it is quite complicated.
