Written Answers. - Child Abuse.

Paul Bradford

Ceist:

67 Mr. Bradford asked the Minister for Health and Children the steps, if any, he intends to take to reform the law to prevent health boards invoking the statute of limitations in civil actions in which damages are sought against a health board by a victim of alleged child abuse in circumstances where it is alleged that a health board failed to provide proper protection to a child. [2195/98]

Alan Shatter

Ceist:

153 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for Health and Children the steps, if any, he intends to take to reform the law to prevent health boards invoking the statute of limitations in civil actions in which damages are sought against a health board by a victim of alleged child abuse in circumstances where it is alleged that a health board failed to provide proper protection to a child. [2345/98]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 67 and 153 together.

I am not proposing any amendment of the civil law in relation to the statute of limitations in the circumstances suggested by the Deputies.
