I thank the Senator and I want to thank Shauna. Today was just about guidelines for information. The Minister has approved funding for an awareness campaign, which is being developed through the national women and infants programme in the HSE. I will get the Senator more information on that.

The Minister and the Government share the Senator's commitment to providing women in Ireland with a healthcare system that is responsive to the issues raised today. Women account for 51% of our population. We need to make sure we have the conversation, the awareness and the information. The Senator spoke about how well Shauna is doing now and we commend her. We need to make sure we have all the services there that are needed, work around them, have an awareness campaign and work with GPs. GPs play a huge role in this as well.It is also about all of us working together. The framework for the women's health action plan protects our ambition. It commits to listening, investing, delivering and repeating the process for growth for women's health. It is about all of us working together. I will come back to the Senator with that information. It was really good to talk about this today because it is vital we raise awareness and work on it together.
