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. This includes responsibility for the recruitment of consultant staff. Accordingly, my Department has requested the chief officer of the executive's southern area to investigate the matters raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
