Minister of State at the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

I propose to take Questions Nos. 602, 603, 604 and 625 together.

As this refers to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.

Question No. 603 answered with Question No. 602.

Question No. 604 answered with Question No. 602.
