Minister for Health and Children (Deputy Mary Harney)

The 2006 Health Service Executive Annual Financial Statements submitted to me do not provide detail in relation to charges for agency staff. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
