Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 September 2007
466 Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Health and Children if there is a clinical director of child and adolescent psychiatry in the southern region of the Health Service Executive at present; if so, when they took up this position; if not, if the position has been advertised; when the position was advertised; when it will be filled; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerOperational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004 and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall vote. The Executive is, therefore, the appropriate body to consider the issue raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
