Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Minister will bring his proposals on medical cards to the Government which I hope will be able to adopt them next Tuesday.

I agree with the Deputy on the issue of symphysiotomy. We have had this discussion before. I know that the Deputy likes to have clarity about dates, but I cannot give him clarity today. This was a barbaric practice. Again, it feeds into the treatment of women for many years. I will have the Minister give me the up-to-date position on the publication of the report and bringing forward his propositions to deal with the matter. I know that a good deal of work has been done on it and will advise the House as soon as I have the information.
