Written answers

Minister for Health

I propose to take Questions Nos. 229 to 231, inclusive, together.

In relation to the particular queries raised by the Deputy, as this information is not readily available within my Department, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy in these matters.
