Brendan Smith

Question:

1347. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Health if his Department, and all agencies under the remit of his Department, have their telephone contact details on their websites and on other media platforms; if all stationery and headed notepaper used in correspondence with the public contain relevant phone contact details, taking into account that everybody is not in a position to correspond by e-mail; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36698/23]

Written answers

Minister for Health (Deputy Stephen Donnelly)

The Department of Health's main switchboard number is listed on the Department's website and Facebook page as 01 6354000. All headed notepaper used in correspondence includes relevant phone contact details.

In relation to telephone contact details for the HSE, as this is an operational matter, I have forwarded your query to the HSE and asked that they respond directly to you as soon as possible.

Details for other bodies under the aegis of my Department are operational matters for the bodies concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly.
