Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 October 2017
367. Deputy Catherine Martin asked the Minister for Health the number of HIV infections detected per year since 2011; the number of new HIV infections detected to date in 2017, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43844/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy may be aware, the HSE - Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) is Ireland's specialist agency for the surveillance of communicable diseases. The HPSC published the 2016 HIV report on 3 October and can be found on their website: www.hpsc.ie/a-z/hivstis/hivandaids/hivdataandreports/.
I have asked the Health Service Executive to reply directly to the Deputy providing figures for the number of HIV infections detected from 2011 to date.
