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 functions of the former Eastern Regional Health Authority.

As the Deputy will be aware, meetings have already taken place to find a resolution to this case. My Department has been advised that the HSE, eastern region, will continue to facilitate both parties in regard to future discussions.
