I propose to take Questions Nos. 485 and 486 together.

The consultant's report to which the Deputy refers was commissioned by the Health Service Executive northern area. I refer the Deputy to the contribution of Deputy Brian Lenihan, Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children, to the Adjournment debate of 22 June 2005 on this matter.
