Vol. 476 No. 2
77 Mr. Broughan asked the Minister for Health the steps, if any, he has taken to ensure that the Government appointees to the Adoption Board are representative of those most affected, namely adoptees, birth parents and adopting parents. [6633/97]
The term of office of the present Adoption Board, which was appointed by the previous Government, is due to expire on 29 January 1998.
The appropriateness of providing for representation by the three principal parties to the adoption process will be borne in mind in the context of the appointment of the next board.
