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. This includes responsibility for the management of the executive's human resources. My Department has requested the interim chief executive officer of the Health Service Executive to investigate the matters on suspension raised by the Deputy and reply directly to him.
