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 provision of services at St. Luke's Hospital, Kilkenny. Accordingly, my Department has requested the chief officer for the executive's south eastern area to reply directly to the Deputy in the matter.
