The Deputy's question refers 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. The HSE is also responsible for procuring and purchasing the products and services it may require. Accordingly, my Department has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
