28. To ask the Minister for Health the reason parents are not provided with a copy of the patient information leaflet prior to signing the consent form for the human papilloma virus vaccine, given the serious side effects outlined in the leaflet; if he agrees that not all parents have Internet access to investigate possible side effects; given that it is medically accepted that there are risks with all vaccines, the supports he plans to put in place for girls who become ill as a suspected result of receiving the vaccine; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for attention and direct reply to the Deputy. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
