Minister for Health

I propose to take Questions Nos. 259 and 260 together.

The Health Service Executive has statutory responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services. I have therefore referred these questions to the Executive's Parliamentary Affairs Division for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
