I can advise the Deputy that on foot of the recommendations of the Committee for the Prevention of Torture following its visit of September 2014, the Irish Prison Service has been engaged with the Department of Health in relation to a fundamental review of healthcare in prisons and the provision of healthcare services in prisons generally. It has confirmed that the Terms of Reference for this review have been drafted and are to be agreed by both Departments.
