Legislation is required in order to implement Judge Quirke's recommendation with regard to the provision of medical services to the women who were admitted to and worked in the Magdalen Laundries, St Mary's Training Centre Stanhope Street and House of Mercy Training School, Summerhill, Wexford. My Department, in consultation with the Department of Health is working on the preparation of the necessary legislation. The issue of providing medical services to women, eligible under the Scheme, who reside outside the State will be considered by the Minister for Health.
