Enquiries have been made with the HSE who have indicated that they are in contact with this person and their family and I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.

The Deputy may be aware that the HSE provides advice on their website: for people who may have concerns regarding persons with suicidal tendencies. The HSE advises that where someone has such concerns, they should contact as quickly as they can their G.P., their local Emergency Department, HSE Mental Health Services or the Samaritans.
