As the Deputy may be aware, currently there are six Sexual Assault Treatment Units (SATUs) in Ireland. These are:

- Cork SATU, located in South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital,

- Donegal SATU, located at Justice Walsh Road, Letterkenny,

- Dublin SATU, located in Rotunda Hospital Campus,

- Galway SATU, located in Brockagh, Co. Galway,

- Mullingar SATU, located in Midlands Regional Hospital, and

- Waterford SATU, located in University Hospital Waterford.

There are currently no plans to increase the number of SATUs.

The details regarding the running costs is a service matter. I have therefore asked the Health Service Executive to provide the detailed information sought by the Deputy and to respond directly to her.
