3744. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Health the number of valid protected disclosures made to the HSE in 2025 that remained open at year end; the average time taken to close a valid protected disclosure; the number that remain open to date; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [62445/26]

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