Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Dr. Moffatt)

The information requested by the Deputy is not, as a matter of course, retained in my Department. I have asked the chief executive officer of the Southern Health Board to have the information compiled and forwarded to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
