I propose to take Questions Nos. 399, 400, 405 to 407, inclusive and 412 together.
My Department continues to engage with a number of relevant stakeholders and agencies including the HSE and the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection in an effort to develop a mechanism to provide a support for vulnerable persons with a condition such as lifelong or long-term medical incontinence to help meet the average annual cost of disposing of this element of their domestic waste. I am informed that this process has taken longer than envisaged, due to a number of issues, including data protection issues that have arisen since the introduction of GDPR. However, I can assure the Deputies that I am committed to introducing an annual support as soon as practically possible in conjunction with relevant agencies and stakeholders.
