View answerThe cost of medical equipment, including that referred to by the Deputy, depends primarily on specification requirements and the response to tender procedures in specific instances.
The Health Service Executive has responsibility for the procurement of medical equipment in the public health sector. I have requested the executive to provide the Deputy with an indication of costs incurred in recent procurements of the items specified.
