The Garda Síochána has of course arrangements in place for the supply of necessary medical services. These arrangements are being reviewed by a working group, representative of An Garda Síochána, my Department, the Department of Health and Children and the Forensic Science Laboratory, to see how these services might be enhanced in line with best international practice. I look forward to receiving the views of the Garda Commissioner following finalisation of the working group's report.
