Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Health (Amendment) Bill 2022: Department of Health
Ms Laura Casey:
Just two at the moment, namely, the Minister of Health in respect of the nursing home sector and the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth in respect of the designated centres for children. As the Deputy will be aware, responsibility for disability services is due to transfer to the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. At the moment, responsibility lies with the Minister for Health, but it will transfer across. The designated centres that are regulated within the legislation fall under two Departments and two Ministers.
