Order of Business.
The Crisis Pregnancy Agency was set up at considerable public expense and has been running for some time. I wish it well. However, at the same time we find that the northern area section of the Eastern Regional Health Authority has not got enough money to pay for medical card holders to go to family planning clinics. These are people who were referred by their medical practitioners in most cases. This seems counterproductive. Will the Leader ask the Minister for Health and Children to come into the House to tell us what co-operation, if any, there is between the Crisis Pregnancy Agency and the health boards?
