167 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children the maternity units or PCCC areas which do not administer the BCG to newborn babies; the number of newborns without such cover in each area or unit; the steps which are being taken to address this situation; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Deputy's question relates to the funding, 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.
