It has been reported that the Minister, in the company of representatives of Patient Focus, indicated to some of the excluded women that they would be catered for, and the Minister has not denied that she made such a statement, including at an engagement that we had with her at one point over this long and protracted lobby. I ask the Minister to respond positively and appeal to her to establish a supplementary Lourdes hospital redress scheme. The number of women involved is small, as would be the size of any compensation fund. Right and justice demand, however, that this be done.
