Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Deputy Máire Hoctor)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 270 and 301 together.

Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular case raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter(s) investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.

Question No. 271 answered with QuestionNo. 263.
