Next month will be the 20th anniversary of the Taoiseach's meeting with Ms Margaret Best and I in the Department of Health on the introduction by the State of a no-fault vaccine compensation scheme. Over the past two decades, while the Governments of the day have been committed to the introduction of such a scheme in the interests of public health and the individuals concerned, we have always been one report away from action. Ireland is one of the few countries in Europe where children and families have to go to court to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the vaccine they were administered has had a severe adverse impact on them. When can we expect this long-promised commitment to be delivered?
