It is a sensitive time, as Mr. Lynch noted, and one must tread carefully.

On PIP breast implants, Mr. O'Mahony referred to the poor communication and waiting time difficulties being experienced by some people. Has the situation improved? Was only a small number of people affected? I would be concerned if some of the women involved are not getting the full after-care that they deserve or are entitled to.
