Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters

Health Services

I thank the Minister of State. I would love the Minister for Health to come to me directly on this issue. This case highlights that the person in question has had three different medical professionals saying she does not need to be there and can opt out because there is no need for it. It is causing her trauma. As the Minister of State said, regarding tissue perhaps being left over, etc., this person has none of that. Everything has been removed. It is very traumatising for her every time to have to prove she has actually undergone this traumatic experience. It is not good enough. I would really welcome a response from the Minister for Health on this issue.
