Minister for Health

The information requested by the Deputy in relation to reports from private investigation firms submitted to the Department from statutory agencies under the aegis of this Department is not immediately available. The Department will survey relevant units and a full reply will issue as soon as possible. I have also requested the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy. Details for other bodies under the aegis of the Department are operational matters for the bodies concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly.
