Description:

The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Dr. Katherine Zappone T.D, established a Collaborative Forum in June 2018 to facilitate dialogue and action on issues of concern to Former Residents of Mother and Baby Homes and related institutions. The First Report of the Forum was provided to Minister Zappone in December 2018 and contains forty-three wide-ranging recommendations across three areas of focus, including (1) Information, Identity, Terminology, and Mis-Representation; (2) Health and Well-being Supports and (3) Memorialisation and Personal Narratives. Following Government consideration of the recommendations on 15th April 2019, it was agreed (amongst other actions) that the Minister for Health would develop proposals for a package of health and well-being supports, including access to any necessary health and social care measures, for former residents of related institutions.
