We have commissioned a piece of work on the specific issue of miscarriage leave. I know Deputy Carroll MacNeill has brought forward Private Member's legislation in that area, and I know it is also one of the issues covered in the Deputy's Bill. We have put out a tender for research to be undertaken, recognising the specific sensitivities around that area. We have ethics approval for that. Work is ongoing in that field as well as research to ensure any legislative proposals brought forward address the specific needs.
