Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 November 2012
262. Deputy Heather Humphreys asked the Minister for Health if he will confirm the percentage of poultry produce used in meals for hospitals that is of Irish origin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53641/12]
View answerThe management of hospital services generally, is a matter for the Health Service Executive and the individual hospitals concerned. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular case raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to make enquiries as to the provenance of the poultry used in hospital meals and reply directly to the Deputy.
