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 vaccination campaigns. Accordingly, my Department has requested Dr. Patrick Doorley, national director, population health, Health Service Executive, to investigate the matter raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
