Question 206: To ask the Minister for Health and Children when she last answered a parliamentary question on the introduction of digital hearing aids; her views on whether since she ceased playing a role in reporting progress to the Houses of the Oireachtas on this project, greater progress has been achieved by the Health Service Executive in delivering this technology; and the role she and her Department should play in relation to setting targets or monitoring progress on behalf of the HSE in respect of this project.

I refer the Deputy to the reply I gave him in relation to digital hearing aids on the 24th March, 2005. 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, 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.
