Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 July 2020
611. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Defence the number of active duty Defence Forces personnel on medical leave due to mental illness and or stress; the barracks to which they were posted in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20914/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the military authorities that the Defence Forces are not in a position to provide the information requested as the data is not specifically captured by the medical record system and would require a search through the medical records of each individual member. In addition it would give rise to issues of medical confidentiality and data protection.
