Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 February 2005
64 Mr. Coveney asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the number of pilot programmes which are ongoing in the health services; if she will identify these programmes; the length of time they have been in operation; the number of patients or regions covered by the pilot programme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4276/05]
View answerIt has not been possible to provide the details required by the Deputy within the time available. The information is currently being collated in respect of the ongoing pilot programmes with which my Department has a direct involvement. As the question covers ongoing pilot programmes across the health services it has also been referred to the Health Service Executive, HSE. The HSE will respond directly to the Deputy on all other pilot programmes ongoing throughout its area of responsibility.
