3893. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Health if the HSE has adopted any policy or guidance recommending the replacement of the terms “mother” and “breastfeeding” with gender-neutral terminology such as “parent”, “human milk” or “chestfeeding”; if so, when and on what evidence this policy was adopted; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [63257/26]

I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy as soon as possible.
