293. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a publicly funded youth mental health organisation (details supplied) plans to amalgamate its services which will result in the eventual removal of access to local mental health services for youth in Clondalkin and the surrounding area; the impact this will have on young persons in the Dublin mid-west area which has the second highest number of referrals to mental health services nationally; if the HSE, as funder, can intervene to insist that local services remain in place; 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.
