On 16 March I approved the 2005 national service plan for the Health Service Executive. Under section 31(13) of the Health Act 2004, I am obliged to ensure that a copy of an approved service plan is laid before both Houses of the Oireachtas within 21 days of my approving the plan. I have asked the chairman of the executive to provide some additional information before 1 April in regard to the plan and I will lay the plan before the Oireachtas as soon as possible after 1 April and, in any event, before 7 April as required by the Health Act 2004.
