Minister for Health (Deputy Leo Varadkar)

In relation to the particular query raised, as this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, will he please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up.
