My question relates to promised legislation under the remit of the Minister for Health. At the time of the introduction of the Health Information and Patient Safety Bill 2015, the HSE had responsibility for governance of, and provision for, children in care. Earlier, on "Today with Sean O'Rourke", the reporter, Mr. Brian O'Connell, comprehensively covered an issue relating to data collection for siblings in care. No data are being gathered in respect of them. Will the Government introduce a children's information Bill? If siblings are taken into foster care and then separated, no data are being gathered.
