I propose to take Questions Nos. 350 to 356, inclusive, together.

The Department has been made aware of the two independent designated centres referred to by the Deputy that provide residential care in Dublin who have notified the HSE that they are no longer in a position to continue to operate. I have referred the Deputy’s questions to the HSE to answer the operational elements to his questions.
