Answer
The Working Group on Fatal Fetal Abnormality completed its work and reported to Ministers last October. The report was then shared with the First and Deputy First Minister late last year.
The Health Minister and I had intended to present proposals to the Executive early in the New Year. However, this cannot be progressed as the Executive fell on the resignation of the Deputy First Minister on 9 January and there is now an election on 2 March.
