Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The carers' forum is operated by the Department of Social Protection and the HSE takes part in it, for obvious reasons, but the Department of Health does not operate it. The same applies to the carers' strategy, which is led by the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection. It would be wrong of me, therefore, to give an update or a report on it, given that I was not present and it falls within the responsibility of the Department of Social Protection.
