I propose to take Questions Nos. 515 to 517, inclusive, and 527 together.
Following talks with the HSE, the Sacred Heart Order and officials from my Department, the HSE agreed to take responsibility for the adoption files of the Sacred Heart Adoption Society located in Bessborough, Blackrock, Co. Cork. In announcing this, the HSE stated that as and from the 1st of August 2011, the HSE Adoption Service has agreed to take over the management of the adoption files. Issues in relation to accessing these files, including issues of waiting times and access to medical records, should be directed to the HSE Regional Adoption Service, St. Stephens Hospital, Glanmire, Co. Cork.
