173 Mr. Kenny asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason for the delay in selling the eight houses owned by the North Western Health Board in Slieve Sneacht Road, Letterkenny, County Donegal (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3479/05]
View answerThe Health Act 2004 provides for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. This includes responsibility for management of land and properties formerly held by health boards and now vested in the executive. Accordingly, my Department has requested the chief officer for the executive's north-western area to investigate the matter raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
