Dr. Tony Holohan:

While I do not want to take further from Deputy O'Connell's time, I should point out that the Minister will shortly bring proposals to Cabinet for consideration on assisted human reproduction and on the development of a model of care. We have worked with the HSE in the development of same. This is for the full range of assisted human reproduction services to sit alongside the drafting of the legislation. Members will be aware of this as they completed pre-legislative scrutiny of that legislation in July. We will be considering the committee's recommendations as part of the drafting. We hope to have the Bill drafted by the end of quarter 1 and to be in a position to move on the development of the services.
