I intend to take Questions Nos. 166 to 168, inclusive, together.

The Deputy's questions relate to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department is requesting the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to arrange to have these matters investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
