217 Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for Health and Children the cost for the various vaccination programmes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14900/01]
The administration of the various immunisation programmes is a matter, in the first instance, for the health boards. My Department has asked the health boards for detailed costs in respect of the various immunisation programmes for the year 2000. However, the health boards have been unable to provide the information in the time available. I will forward the information to the Deputy as soon as it is received.
