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 Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin, are provided under an arrangement with the executive, and my Department has requested the chief officer of the executive's eastern regional area to investigate the matter raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
