Under the Health Act 2004, responsibility for the provision of health and personal social services rests with the Health Service Executive. Accordingly, the Deputy's questions were referred by the Department to the Health Service Executive, which was asked to have the matters investigated and to reply to the Deputy directly. The Department has made further inquiries concerning these matters and it has now been advised that a reply from the executive has been issued to the Deputy.
