Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 88, 161 and 237 together.
The Deputies' questions relate to matters which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to arrange to have these matters investigated and to have replies issued directly to the Deputies.
The position with regard to recruitment procedures is that, under section 22 of the Health Act 2004, employees of the executive must now be recruited in accordance with the Public Service Management (Recruitment and Appointments) Act 2004.
