Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. I understand that the Executive supplied an interim response to the Deputy on the 5th February, 2007 in response to Parliamentary Question 43355-06. I further understand that the information provided to the Deputy was in respect of the four administrative areas that services are delivered through the HSE. These areas are HSE Dublin/Mid Leinster, HSE/Dublin North East, HSE South and HSE West. I have asked the Executive to present the information in the format requested by the Deputy in so far as it is now available.
