Questions (837)

John Lahart

Question:

837. Deputy John Lahart asked the Minister for Health concerning public protection in our health system (including healthcare workers, but also the public within the hospital environment, e.g., waiting rooms or clinical spaces), if there is any system currently in place that would alert healthcare workers of the potential risk of having present in these environments persons convicted of violent or sexual crimes against men, women or children, either serving a sentence, and therefore attending as prisoners with prison officers, or having served their time and been released, but still posing a risk; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
