I thank the Minister for his presentation and Ms Luddy for her contribution. We have received information that is important to the public. Many people are tuning in because they are eager to see this process commence.

I wish to discuss the public consultation process further. I do not want to go over ground that has been covered but I wish to hone in on this matter because I have concerns about it. Will the Minister confirm whether the questions to be advertised are in line with the strategic objective of raising quality standards and providing safer and better healthcare? My concern centres around the questions being open-ended in nature and allowing various campaign groups to submit generic responses that are not focused on the provision of better and high-quality healthcare for women but instead on the policy underpinning the Act.
