Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Deputy John Moloney)

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 case investigates and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
