Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney)

The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of the 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 Health Service Executive to have the issues raised investigated and to provide the details requested directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
