Is the Minister satisfied that none of the women, particularly those who lack capacity, can be taken advantage of by anybody? Many of the women are living in the same orders that ran the laundries. While there is a different atmosphere, personnel and relationships today, it is ironic that the same orders which institutionalised them in the first place may end up advocating for them, and we must be 100% satisfied and content that the women cannot be taken advantage of.
