Responsibility for FASD resides with Department of Health’s Health and Well-being unit. FASD is not deemed to be a disability at this time, and as a result, the services needed to address issues around FASD are primarily found within the remit of DOH. This remit also includes the Expert Advisory Group on foetal alcohol spectrum disorder. The DOH currently have the remit over the Expert Advisory Group on FASD directly relevant to the question posed by the Deputy), therefore this is a matter for the office of the Minister for Health.
