Question from Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh - PQ 54020-26

To ask the Minister for Health if there are publicly funded health facilities in the State currently equipped, staffed, and trained to provide inpatient trauma-stabilisation and specialist treatment for severe dissociative identity disorder; if not, the way in which the HSE clinically justifies the repatriation of a patient with this diagnosis from a healthcare facility outside the State providing care through a cross border arrangement; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
