96 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for Health and Children if his Department is taking a prominent role in relation to the health of prisoners. [5834/02]
My colleague, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy O'Donoghue, has overall responsibility for prison health care policy. However, my Department and health boards assist and support the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform in the delivery of health services to prisoners.
