84 Mr. Stagg asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will ensure that the Health Service Executive do everything possible to bring forward the date for the invitation of tenders for phase 3C of Naas General Hospital from its present target date of the last quarter of 2006 in view of the continuing problems with patients on trolleys in Naas General Hospital accident and emergency. [27394/06]
View answerThe 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. This includes responsibility for considering new capital proposals or progressing those in the health capital programme. Accordingly, my Department is requesting the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
