Questions (505)

Michael Cahill

Question:

505. Deputy Michael Cahill asked the Minister for Health to outline the current protocols in place for cases in which a patient presents at an accident and emergency department and reports suspected drink-spiking; the reason hospitals do not carry out toxicology testing in these cases, even when requested by patients and families; if she will commit to establishing a clear national pathway across hospitals supported by appropriate clinical protocols; 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.
