We are putting a lot of funding into health and well-being and sexual health, which is very important. The strategy in two weeks' time will be really positive. We all know that we need to do more. Supports for the prevention of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence and treatment of victims in collaboration with Cuan and the justice sector are part of it too. It also includes further expansion of the free contraception scheme; women's, men's and LGBT health supports; additional measures for sexual health in third level education; funding to support improved access to HIV prep and for people living with HIV; and expanding sexual health services available throughout the primary care system. It is, therefore, a priority for us. I thank the Deputy again for raising this question. As I said, our strategy launch will be this day two weeks.
