372. To ask the Minister for Health the reason a person (details supplied) that presented multiple times at both Blanchardstown and Naas hospitals with suicidal ideation over the course of six days recently was refused admission by Blanchardstown hospital three times and by Naas hospital twice; the reason the person was only admitted to a psychiatric lockdown after six days had elapsed and three suicide attempts had been made; the reason for the delay in their admission; the resources and support which should have been made available to them but were not; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
