I call Deputy Coppinger. My apologies, as I had skipped her.

That is okay.

Before the break, I raised at Leaders' Questions the toxic, misogynistic culture in the National Ambulance Service and I have spoken further to workers and clients of the service, including another worker who was raped and sexually assaulted and whose career was ended by complex post-traumatic stress disorder as a result. Inappropriate conduct and grooming on the degree course in Tallaght between older tutors and younger students reported to me. Very worryingly, two people have told me about the unnecessary use of 12-lead electrocardiograms, ECGs, on female patients deemed attractive. In other words, you have to pull up a woman's clothing to put these leads on.

I have been told that men are gods in the National Ambulance Service. The bullying and harassment procedures are not followed. It is not good for men either. A noose was left in a colleague's locker after they had just dealt with a suicide case. This is a very dangerous environment. Will the Minister investigate this?

I thank the Deputy and acknowledge the number of times she has raised different issues in different sectors in relation to misogyny and questions of harassment. I want to make it very clear as the Minister for Health that in every healthcare setting, all people are to be protected and respected - men, women, people of any race and people of any gender. People are to be respected in all contexts. While I do not want to speak about any individual cases on the floor of the Dáil as Minister, as the Deputy will understand, I very clearly hear what she is saying in the case of all workers. There are close to 170,000 people working in the healthcare sector in different ways and every one of them is deserving of respect and dignity in their workplace, as every other person is.

Will the Minister investigate?
