237 Mr. Gogarty asked the Minister for Health and Children if steps will be taken to investigate the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 20 who was originally committed to a secure unit in Tallaght Hospital in 1999; the reason he was subsequently released from Tallaght Hospital; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerOperational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular case raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
