When does the Government propose to hold a referendum on Article 41.2, the women in the home clause, of the Constitution, as recommended by the Constitutional Convention?

When will the Government act on its commitments regarding the wider availability of adrenaline auto-injectors given by the Minister for Health to Caroline Sloan, the mother of Emma Sloan, who died as a result of anaphylactic shock? I understand there is to be a HSE consultation regarding wider availability of these life-saving adrenaline auto-injectors and other medicines used in emergency situations. When will this consultation open and what will be its terms of reference? I commend Caroline Sloan, who has single-handedly brought the issue of anaphylaxis to national prominence.
