Written answers

This matter may be more appropriately answered by my colleague the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs. I am liaising with Minister Zappone on this issue and depending on the outcome of these discussions the matter will be referred to either Tusla or the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy.
