Ms Nicola Perry:

I will take the question about the HSE and look to Mr. Keane for a reply to the question about the regional response. I thank the Deputy. The Hepatitis C Partnership is made up of a collaboration of members which includes people who work for the HSE. They are there at that level and feed into the partnership. One of the reasons behind the origin of this collaboration, going back to 2014, was that our view was that pockets of work were being done in different sectors.
