Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 217, 230, 234 and 235 together.

While I have no immediate plans to put into effect any of the measures referred to by the Deputy in these questions, issues relating to the appropriate level of service in the area of forensic nursing are under active joint consideration by my Department and the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform.
