View answerI propse to take Questions Nos. 200 and 201 together.
As responsibility for the matters raised in these parliamentary questions rests with the Health Service Executive, my Department had requested the Health Service Executive to investigate the matters raised and to respond directly to the Deputy. I understand from the executive that replies to Questions Nos. 62, 71 and 72 of 21 April 2005 have now issued. The HSE has advised me that, due to an administrative error, a response did not issue to Question No. 50 and that a response will now issue to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
