Domestic violence and children’s hospital Bills
Updates are sought on the promised domestic violence and children’s hospital legislation; no dates are set, but substantial work is continuing on both.
The reformed and consolidated domestic violence Bill is promised legislation. It proposes to consolidate the Domestic Violence Act 1996. When is it likely to come before the House? Will it do so during this session? What advances have been made in the promised children's hospital development Bill? When is it likely to come before the House? Have the heads of the Bill been approved and will we see it before the end of this session?
Comment on this
We have set no date for either Bill. The Deputy is right to raise them as they are important areas that are being addressed. Considerable work is going into both pieces of legislation. An enormous amount of work is happening regarding the children's hospital both on the ground with the project and regarding the legislation.
