While we do not have a specific internal anti-racism policy, all staff in my Department are bound by the Civil Service Code of Standards and Behaviours and by the Civil Service Dignity at Work policy and we are committed to protecting dignity and respect. These policies are regularly communicated and readily accessible by staff on our Intranet.
In terms of services to the public, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly on this matter. In respect of the Non Commercial State Agencies under the aegis of the Department, responses will be sought, collated and returned to the Deputy by way of separate cover.
