Question 72: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason two vacancies for social workers in the local adoption service are not being filled in view of the fact that the waiting list in the north east is the longest in the country for inter-country adoption and she has ring-fenced €1 million to help reduce waiting lists for inter-country adoption; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The Deputy's question relates 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, the Department of Health and Children has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
