New HSE figures show attendance at Ireland’s Sexual Assault Treatment Units (SATUs) increases by 5% overall in 2025. The data covers four of the six units operating in the country, which report increases in patients seen over the year. Among the units, the Rotunda SATU in Dublin records the largest rise, with attendances up by 12.5%. Another example highlighted in the reporting is the SATU in Letterkenny, Donegal, which sees 143 people attend, representing an 11.5% increase.
The figures indicate that overall attendance growth is driven by higher patient numbers across multiple units, though not every unit is described as increasing in the available accounts. The HSE figures are reported as being released recently, with outlets also noting the pattern of increases across most of the six units included in the national reporting. Overall, the published statistics point to a modest year-on-year rise in people accessing SATU services in 2025.
