Minister for Health

In relation to the query on staffing raised by the Deputy, as this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy in this matter. In relation to the waiting times, I have asked the Business Intelligence Unit, within the Health Service Executive, to respond directly to the Deputy.
