Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 6:

In page 6, to delete lines 19 to 29 and substitute the following:

"(a) the Health Service Executive established under the Health Act 2004 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Health Service Executive'),

(b) a local authority for the purposes of the Local Government Act 2001,

(c) a Minister of Government,

(d) the City of Dublin Vocational Educational Committee established under the Vocational Education Act 1930,

(e) the Dublin Institute of Technology established under the Dublin Institute of Technology Act 1992,".

These amendments are consequential on the enactment of the Health Act 2004 which transferred functions previously exercised by health boards to the Health Service Executive. Amendment No. 6 refers to the substitution of the former Eastern Regional Health Authority and the North West Area Health Board with the Health Service Executive.

Amendment No. 33 is related to amendment No. 6. The purpose of this amendment is to allow the strategic plan referred to in subsection 11(2) to provide for the needs of the immediate locality of the Grangegorman neighbourhood and thus give due recognition in the strategic plan to local communities and residents in both the immediate area and the wider community.
