Question:110 Ms Fitzgerald asked the Minister for Health and Children if he intends to put an ombudsman in place for children. [15886/97]
Written Answers. - Ombudsman for Children.
I am considering the possibility of establishing an ombudsman for children but I am not convinced that this is the most effective mechanism for vindicating the rights of children. I am also considering other approaches that might be more appropriate in this regard.
I hope to be in a position to announce my decision in this matter shortly.
