Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health

I refer the Deputy to my replies to Parliamentary Questions Numbers 674, 676 and 677 of 28 May 2013.

In addition I would like to advise the Deputy that both the Health Information and Quality Authority and the National Treatment Purchase Fund are separately addressing the operational issues raised in the submissions directly with the sector.
