Minister of State at the Department of Health

I propose to take Questions Nos. 113, 115, 117 and 121 together.

As this is a service issue these questions have been referred to the HSE for direct reply. If the Deputy has not received a reply within 15 working days, please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
