The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004.

Question:159 Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin has made the case to the Health Service Executive that to fund the hospital on the basis of 2004, capacity rather than the significantly increased activity of 2005, is wholly inadequate, and that such funding does not take into account additional capacity in cardiology, theatre and ICU, which the Health Service Executive stated should not be curtailed and for which the Health Service Executive has allocated resources; her views on the matter; and the steps she will take to address the shortfall.
