Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 September 2008
631 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of hostel accommodations here used for separated children aged 16 to 18; her views on reports that nearly all hostels have failed inspections by HIQ and SSI; and the reason no reports have been published on these accommodations. [30857/08]
View answerThe Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, 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.
