Minister for Health

I propose to take Questions Nos. 855 to 857, inclusive, together.

As these are service matters they have been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.

Questions Nos. 858 and 859 answered with Question No. 854.
