I propose to take Questions Nos. 203 to 205, inclusive, together.
The prevention and control of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and healthcare associated infection (HCAI) is a key priority for my Department and the Health Service Executive (HSE). The HSE has established a National Clinic Programme focusing on the prevention of healthcare-associated infection and antimicrobial resistance. There is a comprehensive programme of work underway to continue to improve infection control performance and to measure compliance with national infection prevention and control standards. In relation to the particular queries raised by the Deputy, as these are service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy in these matters.
