Ceist:261 Dr. Twomey asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the crisis at Pilgrim House and its ability to care for adult men with learning disabilities; the way in which this may affect other voluntary groups; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 260 and 261 together.
While I am aware that there have been difficulties between Pilgrim House and the Health Service Executive, I understand that the executive has nominated two individuals who will engage shortly with the Pilgrim House in order to outline the possible implications of a service review. In the circumstances, I consider that it would be inappropriate for me to meet with representatives of Pilgrim House at this time.
