The HSE Southern Area sent the following reply to Deputy Naughten on 11 March in response to the parliamentary question he asked on 2 March 2005:

All of the above mentioned cheques were originally State funded. These uncashed cheques are taken in as receipts annually — 2003 taken in as receipts in 2004. Funds are subsequently used to provide health services in the southern area.

My Department has asked the parliamentary affairs division of the Health Service Executive to arrange to have the information updated and to forward the reply directly to the Deputy.
