The National Advisory Committee on Bioethics was established to advise the Minister for Health on the ethical and social implications of scientific developments in human medicine and healthcare.
The National Advisory Committee on Bioethics’ membership is multi-disciplinary in nature. The Committee members give of their time and expertise voluntarily, though they may claim for reasonable expenses incurred in relation to attending Committee meetings, for example, travel costs.
There were no expenses claimed by Committee members for the years 2018, 2017, 2016 or 2014 for attendance at meetings of the National Advisory Committee on Bioethics. In the case of 2015, the total remuneration of Committee members’ expenses was €701.27.
