Ceisteanna (549)

Pearse Doherty

Ceist:

549. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 227 of 6 October 2016, if the advice sought by his Department regarding the possible need for legislative change has yet been received; if so, the way he will progress plans to amend the application form for the long-term illness scheme in order to replace offensive terminology used to define the recognised condition in question; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
