Minister of State at the Department of Health (Deputy Alex White)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 217 to 220, inclusive, together.

The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available in my Department. However I have asked the Health Service Executive to investigate the matter and I will reply to the Deputy when I have any available information.
