Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health

My Department is responsible for the formulation and development of policy in respect of the provision of healthcare and support services; responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services rests with the Health Service Executive (HSE). 

The HSE has now been tasked with implementing the recommendations of the Task Force Report in relation to setting up demonstration projects.  I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy to update him on  progress.
