Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

General Scheme of the Assisted Human Reproduction Bill 2017: Discussion

9:00 am

Dr. Tony Holohan:

That specific matter has not been but it is not something we have any difficulty in looking at. I do not want to interfere with the operation of the committee and the Chairman's role but, as I mentioned at the outset, we have with us some clinical colleagues who have national leadership roles in both cancer services and women's and infants' health. We have concentrated on the technical answers to the questions that the committee is asking about the scheme, but our colleagues might well have important observations to make on some of the matters that we have been talking about, including Deputy Kelleher's question.
