Written Answers. - Fitness to Practice Inquiries.

Ruairí Quinn

Question:

124 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Health and Children the amount of expenditure incurred from July 1997 to date in connection with the fitness to practice inquiry regarding a person (details supplied) and litigation involving An Bord Altranais; and the amount it is anticipated will be incurred in the future. [16983/99]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Cowen)

As I explained on a previous occasion in the House, it is An Bord Altranais rather than my Department which is involved in the particular case referred to by the Deputy. Since An Bord Altranais is a self-financing agency, no funds have been expended on this case by my Department.
