A range of measures to support the Survivors of Symphysiotomy (SOS) Group was put in place by the Health Service Executive (HSE) following a meeting between my predecessor, Minister Martin, and the Group in late 2003. This included the designation of liaison officers to assist in co-ordinating the provision of services to former patients. My Department has asked the HSE to reply directly to the Deputy on the issue raised.
