The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy. However, it should be noted that it is unlikely that the Health Service Executive would collate information on those homeless young people who are also involved with the criminal justice system.
