Question:

137 Mr. Kehoe asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the total cost of the changeover for stationery in each health board area when changing to the HSE; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6282/05]

Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney)

The Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. The cost of stationery arising from the changeover from the health boards is a matter for the executive. Accordingly, my Department has requested the acting director of the executive's corporate affairs directorate to ascertain the position and to reply directly to the Deputy.
