Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney)

The Health Act 2004 provided for the HSE, 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 the construction of a health centre at Westbury, Corbally, County Clare. My Department has requested the chief officer for the executive's mid-western area to investigate the matter raised and reply to the Deputy direct.
