I propose to take Questions Nos. 237 to 239, inclusive and 241 and 242 together.

Responsibility for the provision of the services referred to by the Deputy rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has, therefore, asked the regional chief executive to investigate the matters raised by the Deputy and reply to him directly.
