Written answers

Minister for Health

Western Building Systems has undertaken work for the Health Service Executive over the last ten years at eleven HSE owned buildings. Further to an assessment of all eleven buildings it was found that there were no fire safety or structural issues arising and therefore the Health Service Executive determined that no further action is required.
