Question 227: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason adequate resources are not given to the Health Service Executive to provide an appropriate out-of-hours CAT scanning service to the Health Service Executive south-east region where three of the four hospitals in the region do not have the service; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The management and delivery of health and personal services are now the responsibility of the Health Service Executive. This includes responsibility for the provision of CAT scanning services at hospitals in the south east. Accordingly, my Department 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.
