View answer283 Ms O’Sullivan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the Responding to Bullying First Steps for Teachers programme operating in the North Eastern Health Board area is under threat due to cutbacks leading to staff reductions; if she will take steps to ensure that the programme is maintained; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 282 and 283 together.
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. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
