Question:

147 Mr. Wall asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will report on the new health structure, the personnel involved and the line of command and seniority within the Health Service Executive for Kildare and west Wicklow; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6560/05]

Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney)

Statutory responsibility for organisational and staffing structures underpinning the delivery of health and personal social services rests with the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005 under the Health Act 2004. My Department has therefore asked the interim chief executive officer of the HSE to investigate the specific matters raised by the Deputy on Kildare and West Wicklow and to reply directly to the Deputy.
