Written answers

Details in relation to photography and public relations/communications expenditure by the Department of Health for 2016 and 2017 are set out in the following tables.

I have referred the question to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy in relation to its expenditure. Details for other bodies under the aegis of the Department are operational matters for the bodies concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly.
