Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

I propose to take Questions Nos. 528 and 529 together.

As this refers to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.

Question No. 529 answered with Question No. 528.
