I am very much aware of the needs of survivors who are living outside the country. Some moved subsequently and some are out of the country as a result of the adoption practices that the Deputy described. Some of these groups are represented on the collaborative forum. At our latest meeting, we specifically discussed issues with regard to survivors living outside the country. I will continue to engage. I have committed to meeting groups from the UK and the USA to engage with them and get a sense from them of how the Government can better support them.
