Written answers

Minister for Health

I can confirm that my Department has not defended any cases in the Employment Appeals Tribunal in the past five years.

I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly on the matter. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
