Amharc ar fhreagra540. Deputy Mark Ward asked the Minister for Health the average number of interventions received after a child is identified as needing a hospital-based medical or surgical service after completion of an assessment of needs since the initial intervention in the first 12 months by CHO area in the past five years in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As these are service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
