Plans for the establishment of a Patient Safety Agency are under review in the context of the strategic reform of the health services and the measures that are being taken to strengthen patient safety, including advocacy and related services, within the HSE. This review will allow me to decide on the most appropriate way forward in the best interest of patients.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
