Maria Byrne (FG), Agricultural Panel

I am aware of the commitment of the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, and the Government to women's health. I want to acknowledge how far we have come but were we to take that little step further, that would be very welcome. While HRT is not for everyone, it is important that people have a choice. People do not have to take it but they should have the choice. Some people are paying between €30 and €70 for a prescription, which is a lot of money. In that context, I am glad this is something that is being considered.
