Amharc ar fhreagraThe 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 human resource management. My Department has, therefore, requested the executive's national director of human resources to reply directly to the Deputy in regard to the information sought.
