Minister of State at the Department of Health

I propose to take Questions Nos. 661 and 662 together.

As the Deputy's questions relate to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy.

Question No. 663 answered with Question No. 649.

Question No. 664 answered with Question No. 89.
