I understand that this question has been clarified with the Deputy and that she is seeking information concerning how many Irish high court maternity cases have involved non-nationals being brought to court by medical practitioners to compel them to undergo a procedure for which they do not give their consent. The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available within the health system. As Minister for Health I have no function in court cases that have not been taken by or against the State in relation to health care.
