I propose to take Questions Nos. 1699 and 2234 together.

It would not be appropriate for me to make a statement on individual patients or families in this context. An individual can request a copy of their personal data, if any, processed by my Department by contacting the Department and making a Subject Access Request. Further information is available on the Department’s website at www.gov.ie/en/organisation-information/381552-protecting-personal-data-health/.
