The Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. This includes responsibility for services to victims of abuse. Accordingly, my Department has requested the director for the executive's primary, community and continuing care area to investigate the matters raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
