I do not know if the Minister is aware but reproductive health services are not currently provided to women in St. Vincent's hospital and it is hard to see that situation changing, given the expected structure of the new company, its basis and origins, particularly in the context of the repeal of the eighth amendment. Other basic women's health services, such as sterilisation services, prescribing of contraception and so on, are not currently provided in that hospital. It is a matter of concern and I look forward to engaging with everyone.
