Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 March 2005
120 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the position regarding developments at Temple Street Hospital; if parking spaces will be made available for all nursing staff to ensure adequate and stable nursing services; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9155/05]
View answerThe Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. Services at Temple Street Hospital are provided under an arrangement with the executive.
My Department has requested the chief officer for the executive's eastern regional area to examine the issue raised and to reply to the Deputy directly.
