Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 December 2016
274. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the geographic availability of dedicated child and adolescent sexual assault treatment services; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39269/16]
View answerI must advise the Deputy that the Sexual Assault Treatment Units are provided by the Health Service Executive, funded through the Vote of the Department of Health. I understand that there are 6 Sexual Assault Treatment Units currently, as listed by the HSE on its website, and these are located in Cork, Donegal, Dublin, Galway, Mullingar and Waterford. I will refer your question in respect of child and adolescent sexual assault treatment services to my colleague the Minister for Health for a direct reply.
