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 information and communications technology. Accordingly, my Department has requested the national director of ICT for the Health Service Executive to investigate the matters raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
