I acknowledge the presence of Finola Cassidy in the Gallery.

The HSE has a senior manager who liaises with Irish thalidomide survivors. The HSE has carried out a consultation process with survivors to ascertain their health and social care needs now and into the future. The support for Irish survivors of thalidomide Bill was paused because of this consultation with the HSE.

When that consultation is finished, it will then proceed.
