Question 219: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if, since the closure of a hostel for women in Middle Abbey Street in January 2007, homeless services at the Health Service Executive have been unable to offer accommodation to the majority of single homeless women in Dublin City who present to their service looking for accommodation; if this is the case, the reason for same; and the further reason a hostel for women run by the Health Service Executive in the Dublin 7 area is not operating to full capacity.

The 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. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the specific matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
