Summary
Deputy Ellis asked for progress and a timeframe on legislation to place supports for Irish thalidomide survivors on a statutory basis. The Minister said he would ask the responsible Minister to provide a specific update.
Will the Minister outline what progress has been made with regard to the support for Irish survivors of thalidomide Bill, which puts the provision of health and personal social supports on a statutory basis for Irish thalidomide survivors? Will he outline a timeframe for these legislative proposals?
Comment on this
I will ask the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, to come back to the Deputy on this issue of survivors of thalidomide and the legislation to which the Deputy has referred. He will come back to the Deputy with a specific update on that.
