The Minister for Health met the family at the centre of the crisis in the National Maternity Hospital on 29 August, which I welcome. This is the case where a healthy baby was aborted under the Government's legislation, under the section concerning life-limiting conditions and fatal foetal abnormalities. It is a heartbreaking situation. The mother has said she was examined by only one obstetrician. In that meeting, the Minister acknowledged that the medical notes indicated that the legislation was breached and it was also accepted by officials that a case such as this could be a case for the Garda. Shockingly, over six months on the family has still not had an input into the composition of the panel.

I am sorry to interrupt the Deputy, but I am deeply uncomfortable about the raising of a specific matter of this nature which may be the subject of litigation or inquiry. It is not the appropriate-----

It is not the subject of litigation. The problem is that there is a request for a review and the family have had no input into the composition of the panel or the terms of reference. The Government is refusing the family the opportunity to input into that process. Six months on, it is not good enough.

I too am reluctant to discuss in the Chamber the medical history of any individual or anything of that nature.

The family asked me to raise this issue.

I do not have information on the medical history of any individual patient.

It would be more appropriate for Deputy Tóibín to engage with the Minister for Health on the matter.

I think so.
