My Department understands that the Health Service Executive intends to conduct a general evaluation of Traveller health services. The evaluation will be undertaken in consultation with the Traveller community and other relevant statutory agencies. The outcome of the evaluation will, inter alia, inform the operation of the Traveller Primary Healthcare Teams in order to address the health needs within the Traveller community.
