With the agreement of the House, we will take five more minutes on promised legislation because quite a number of Deputies are offering and I did not get the chance to call Deputy Shortall as leader of the Social Democrats. Is that agreed? Agreed.

There is much concern among the women affected by the CervicalCheck controversy about the delay in the Government actually following through on commitments made several weeks ago concerning putting in place the kinds of services and supports they require, as well as the response to the handling of legal cases.

The other area of promised legislation where there is concern regards the promise to legislate, on an urgent basis, for mandatory open disclosure. Is the Tánaiste in a place to tell us where we are with the promise to bring in that legislation? At what stage is it? When can we expect to see it? The general expectation is that the urgency of the matter would require that it would be in before the summer recess.

Following on from some of the questions that Deputy Donnelly raised earlier on the support packages promised by the Government, I received a note from the Department of Health. Up to 105 new medical cards have already been issued in this area. All supports in terms of home care packages and 14 counselling and physio appointments have started. The packages are under way in terms of the practical supports and implementations being put in place.

Many women have indicated that they want to consider their needs further and then revert to the HSE outlining what they require. That is understandable having outlined to them what is potentially on offer in terms of available supports. There will be a process of consideration and deliberation around that. It is very much under way.

I will come back to the Deputy with an exact date for the legislation in question. It is a priority and we are going to move it ahead as quickly as we can.
