The Adoption Authority has advised that the direct payroll cost to the Agency for providing information and tracing services is in the region of €300,000 per annum.
I have been informed by the HSE that the overall cost to provide information and tracing services nationally by the HSE is in the region of €3 million. This includes salary, travel, office and administration costs.
