I propose to take Questions Nos. 169 to 177, inclusive, and 179 together.

The Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive which was established on 1 January 2005. Under this Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. Accordingly, my Department has requested the HSE to reply directly to the Deputy outlining the number of letters received by each of the former health boards and the ERHA between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2004 from relatives or solicitors acting on their behalf claiming that nursing home charges were illegal.
