Question 195: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if she will provide a ring-fenced fund in respect of victims of abuse within the health service, including electroconvulsive therapy and over-medication, who have not had redress; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [11223/10]

People who feel they have been mistreated by a provider of a health service should, in the first instance, take the matter up with the service provider. It is also open to them to take legal advice and/or to make a formal complaint to the appropriate regulatory body i.e. the Mental Health Commission, Medical Council, Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland, Bord Altranais, Dental Council etc. In these circumstances I have no plans to provide a ring-fenced fund for alleged mistreatment.
