The health services premises were given to the Foyle based charity to be used for victims of domestic violence.
The Minister said: "During my visit to Foyle Women's Aid I have been very impressed by the dedication and professionalism of the organisation and the excellent services they provide for the victims of domestic violence."

"I am very pleased to announce the handover of the two properties," he added.
Mr McGimpsey and the Western HSC Trust have exchanged existing 70-year leases on the two properties for 999-year leases, which effectively gives Foyle Women's Aid ownership of the properties.
The two properties are the Foyle Women's Aid headquarters in Pump Street and their Derry area refuge.
