3159. Deputy Paula Butterly asked the Minister for Health if she will consider establishing a dedicated women's health unit at Louth County Hospital, Dundalk, incorporating services such as a sexual assault treatment unit, BreastCheck services and menopause clinics, in order to improve access to women's healthcare services in the north-east region; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [60123/26]

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
