I propose to take Questions Nos. 256 and 257 together.

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. This includes responsibility for the bulk of capital projects identified in the economic and social infrastructure operational programme under the National Development Plan 2000-2006. Accordingly, my Department has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to arrange to have this matter investigated as soon as possible. My Department will then be in a position to collate the relevant information and furnish a reply directly to the Deputy.
