Text

Thank you, junior Minister, for that update. It is great to hear that so much work is going on behind the scenes. Junior Minister, you will be aware that, because the scheme is admissions-based, many victims and survivors and family members are concerned that they will not have the appropriate information about their admission to one of those institutions. What work is ongoing to help people to access their birth or adoption records?
