Richard Bruton

Question:

1266.

Written answers

Minister for Health

I can confirm that neither I nor my Department have received a report on the matter referred to by the Deputy. As the specific matter raised by the Deputy is the responsibility of the NMBI, I have asked the NMBI to respond directly to the Deputy.
