Written answers

Minister for Health

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1051 to 1057, inclusive, together.

With regard to the specific queries raised by the Deputy, as these are service matters, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up.
