Obviously, there is a maternity strategy as part of the Holles Street move and the construction of a new national maternity hospital. The Government and the HSE strongly support the principle that mothers should breast-feed their children. We have strategies to support that.

I am sure there are actions. If the Deputy tables a parliamentary question, the Minister will be in a position to respond.
