Minister of State at the Department of Health

I understand that the Health Service Executive replied to the Deputy's question on 3rd December, 2013. As the particular case referred to by the Deputy relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive for investigation and direct reply to the Deputy.
