Dr. Tony Holohan:

It is an issue on which the HSE might reflect and give a specific reply in writing.

By way of a general response, I welcome the opportunity provided for us by way of engagement with the committee to hear about the issues of concern to members and some of the other guests which we will carefully consider in the finalisation of the sexual health policy. There was a time when we as a society could not even have contemplated developing a policy with that title. Part of the normalisation process is, perhaps, evident in the fact that we are able to do something like this and respond to the types of issue raised this morning.
