845. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Minister for Health the number of mental health patients from Ireland currently getting residential treatment for mental health and associated conditions in the UK; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [53252/26]

846. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Minister for Health the governance in place for mental health patients who are currently getting treatment from outside the State; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [53253/26]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 845 and 846 together.

As these are service matters, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy as soon as possible.
