To ask the Minister for Health the criteria used by the Health Service Executive and other organisations funded by his Department when deciding on tendering for the provision of patient seating clinic products; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13196/13]

All Government Departments and Agencies funded from the Exchequer must comply with EU Directives and national guidelines on procurement. As delivery of health care patient seating clinic products such as wheelchairs is a service issue the Deputy's question has been referred to the HSE for direct reply. Apart from the HSE, Agencies under the aegis of my Department do not deliver such a health care service directly to the public.
