1102. To ask the Minister for Health his views on the development of the Health (Adult Safeguarding) Bill 2017 which is currently being led by his Department; and the reason this is not being developed by the Department, given that adult safeguarding is much broader than health and requires a cross-departmental and inter-agency approach, as well as a whole of society approach.

I thank the Deputy for clarifying through her office that the question relates to the anticipated Health (Adult Safeguarding) Bill and the reason this Bill is being developed by my Department.
I refer the Deputy to a previous reply in relation to this matter, in response to Parliamentary Question 27019 answered on 1 June 2023. The position is unchanged.
