Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services is a matter for the Health Service Executive and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall Vote. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular case raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.

As the Health Service Executive (HSE) has the operational and funding responsibility for the WestDoc GP out-of-hours service, it is the appropriate body to provide the information sought by the Deputy. I understand that the HSE replied to the Deputy's Parliamentary Questions 41093/06 and 41094/06 on 18th January, 2007, and as further clarification is being sought by the Deputy, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to address this matter and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
