Text

I am grateful to the Minister for his answer. He has highlighted the fact that GRONI is working on the issue. He will be aware of the Tell Us Once campaign in Great Britain. It is being promoted by Marie Curie here. As chair of the all-party group (APG) on terminal illness, I am keen to see that bereaved people need to notify only one agency to ensure that they do not have to make repeated calls at a time of grief. The Minister is obviously taking it forward, but can he give us any indication of the time frame and the scoping needed for such legislation?
