Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 February 2005
142 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if the Health Services Executive will keep in contact with persons (details supplied) in Dublin 8 concerning a proposed development; if this Deputy will be fully briefed on the issue and kept informed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6310/05]
View answerThe Health Service Executive was established under the Health Act 2004 on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive is responsible for managing and delivering, or arranging to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. Therefore, it is responsible for the provision of health services in the Dublin 8 area. Accordingly, the Department of Health and Children has asked the chief officer for the executive's eastern regional area to investigate the matter and to reply directly to the Deputy.
