Vol. 565 No. 4
129 Mr. Killeen asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason adoption panels have not been re-constituted in some health board areas; the way in which backlogs arising from this will be dealt with; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11165/03]
151 Mr. Killeen asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason that the Mid-Western Health Board area adoption board has not been re-constituted; if a backlog has arisen; the number of cases currently in hand; the length of time decisions take; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11334/03]
152 Mr. Killeen asked the Minister for Health and Children the date of the last meeting of the Mid-Western Health Board adoption panel; when the next meeting will be held; the way in which the backlog which has arisen will be addressed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11335/03]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 129, 151 and 152 together.
The appointment and working arrangements of adoption panels-committees which approve applicants for adoption at health board level are a matter for each individual board.
