The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004.

As the Deputy may be aware two weeks ago the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children met with representatives of three organisations in the violence against women sector. Following that meeting the Tánaiste asked the HSE to review the issues raised by the organisations. The HSE is considering this request.
