Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 May 2005
126 Mr. Carey asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will establish with the HSE when the former GMS payments board is to be relocated from its present premises; the location of the new premises; the length of the lease on the new premises; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17852/05]
Amharc ar fhreagra: The Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. This includes responsibility for the arrangement of office accommodation for staff within the HSE, including the former General Medical Services (Payments) Board now known as the HSE primary care reimbursement service. Accordingly, the matter has been referred to the chief officer of the HSE primary care reimbursement service for investigation and direct reply.
