The Review of the Congregated Settings is being carried out by a group chaired by a senior HSE official. I understand that the group is at an advanced stage in its work. However, it would be a matter for the HSE to advise you on the current status of the review. I wish to advise the Deputy that due to industrial action affecting the Health Service Executive it is not possible for the Executive to supply the information requested. If this matter remains of continuing concern to you, however, I would invite you to raise it with me again in due course.
