I propose to take Questions Nos. 378 and 382 together.

The information requested by the Deputy is not available in my Department. As the questions relate specifically to the North Eastern Health Board, my Department has referred them to the chief executive officer of that board for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.

Responsibility for the provision of services at Cavan General Hospital rests with the North Eastern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive of the board to examine the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
