The Health Act 2004 provided for the creation of 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 have delivered on its behalf health and personal social services. Its responsibilities include the provision of services at Galway Regional Hospital. Accordingly, my Department has requested the chief officer of the executive's western area to investigate the matter raised and reply directly to the Deputy.
