I propose to take Questions Nos. 270 and 271 together.

The Deputy's questions relate to the recruitment of consultant staff, which is the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
