Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Key Issues Relating to the Health Service: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Robert Watt:

The Deputy is aware of the process. Our work is with that process. We are aware of the particular issues with unacknowledged survivors. The Minister has given us directions on the supports that should be provided to that group. We are actually moving on that now. This is a long-standing issue for thalidomide victims, acknowledged and unacknowledged, but the Minister is committed to doing the right thing by the different groups. We are working through it, there is a process there and hopefully that will conclude soon.
