Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 May 2026
915. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Health the number of protected disclosures that have gone missing or have been compromised that have been submitted to her Department or State bodies that are responsible to her Department. [32290/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn line with the confidentiality provisions of the Act, my Department does not comment on individual disclosures. The Department of Health has robust procedures in place to ensure all disclosures received are handled in accordance with the Protected Disclosures Act 2014 including the provision of secure reporting channels and appropriate record management arrangements. These measures are intended to support the integrity of the process and public confidence in the making of disclosures.
I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
Details for other bodies under the aegis of my Department are operational matters for the bodies concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly.
