Written answers

The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal 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.

Question No. 273 answered with QuestionNo. 230.

Andrew Doyle

Question:

274 Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Health and Children the services considered essential and front line in view of the commitment made by her in May 2007 that there will be no cutbacks in essential front line services; if the ambulance service qualifies as essential and front line; and if the embargo on the ambulance service recruitment programme will be lifted. [22685/07]

View answer

Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services is a matter for the Health Service Executive and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall Vote. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular issue raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
