The responses had no reference to including a plan for the relevant facilities, the diagnostic equipment or anything like that. I hear very clearly what has been said, and at some point in the future this may be addressed.

I know that time is limited and I have a question on the working group on contraception. Has the Minister received that report? When the Minister receives the report, is it his intention to publish it? By way of observation, I note the Department has established a task force. While I do not mean this in any disrespectful way to Mr. Breslin, the women's health task force is headed by a man, which is a bit of an own goal. Will the working group on contraception report be published? The Minister has said that he does not have it yet.
