View answer431. Deputy Erin McGreehan asked the Minister for Health if HIQA plans to update or expand its inspection criteria for IPAS to include explicit standards relating to policy statements on domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence prevention, reporting, and response; and when this will take effect. [60688/25]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 430 and 431 together.
The International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) is under the remit of the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, as such the Deputies questions would be better directed to the Minister of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration.
