348. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth further to Parliamentary Question No. 635 of 18 September 2024, to provide a detailed response on the costs of the care investigation to date, as of September 2024; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37885/24]

As this question refers to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
