I propose to take Questions Nos. 360 and 461 together.
The Minister for Health and Children met with a delegation from the Justice for Magdalene group last year, together with officials from HSE and from the Department. Following the meeting, the HSE undertook to make enquiries regarding the various matters which had been raised by the group with regard to the role of the health boards. Due to the significant length of time which has elapsed, the exercise is complex and time-consuming. My Department has written again to the HSE requesting a progress report on the matters referred to and a response is awaited.
