Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney):
The Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage and deliver or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. Accordingly, my Department has requested the director of the Nationals Hospitals Office to reply to the Deputy directly.
