Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 April 2005
211 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason the Health Service Executive failed to give an adequate response in the case of persons (details supplied) in Dublin 3; and if this matter will soon be resolved in order to prevent legal proceedings. [13243/05]
View answer212 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will compensate persons (details supplied) for the amount of money spent on dealing with noise and disruption from the Health Service Executive; and if assistance will be given to these persons. [13262/05]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 211 and 212 together.
The 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. As the persons in question reside in Dublin, my Department has requested the chief officer for the executive's eastern regional area to investigate the matters raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
