Written answers

The National Women and Infants Health Programme was established in the HSE to lead on the management, organisation and delivery of maternity, gynaecological and neonatal services nationally. In that context, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.

Question No. 866 answered with Question No. 734.
