The Eastern Regional Health Authority indicates the review, which will include consideration of St. Clare's unit in Temple Street Hospital, will appraise current services by addressing referral, assessment and treatment processes. The initial analysis will also consider associated waiting times and numbers. It is acknowledged that these services cannot be looked at in isolation from the wider context of sexual assault service provision, including opportunities for alternative service provision and reference to best practice elsewhere. The terms of reference, including the timeframe for the review, are currently being finalised. A progress report on the review will be provided by the chief executive officer of the Eastern Regional Health Authority at the next board meeting on 3 April 2003.
