‹ Order of Business Symphysiotomy survivors’ redress
Summary
Senator Moran welcomes the Health Minister’s response and proposed support for women excluded from the Neary inquiry, saying the long campaign for symphysiotomy redress may finally be nearing resolution.
I have been here for two years during which time I have campaigned vigorously for symphysiotomy victims. I welcome what the Minister for Health, Deputy James Reilly, said last night and hope an end is in sight. It is also welcome that the 35 women excluded from the Neary inquiry will be looked after. We hear plenty of complaints about the health system, but this is a good day for the women concerned, in particular Olivia Kearney who has devoted many years to the issue.
