When will the applications for the mother and baby homes scheme open? The redress scheme for survivors of mother and baby homes was signed off last July. Many of the survivors have contacted me. As the Minister knows, these survivors are not getting any younger. It is now important that this scheme is up and running as soon as possible. That needs to be done. Can we have a timescale for it? That will be so important. We are going into another new year in January.
