Section 35 of the Health Act, 2004 requires the Health Service Executive to submit a code of governance for my approval.
As the Deputy is aware, a draft code of governance has been prepared by the Health Service Executive and was submitted to my Department in late September. The contents of this Code are being assessed and considered by my officials. I anticipate that the examination of the Code will be complete in the coming weeks.
The Executive will publish its code of governance once it has been approved by me under section 35 of the Health Act, 2004.
