Under the Health Act, 2004 there is a requirement for a number of documents in relation to the Health Service Executive to be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas. These include the National Service Plan and the Annual Report but does not include the management structure and contact details of personnel. However, I would direct the deputy to the home page of the Health Service Executive's website from which a booklet entitled "An Introduction to the Health Service Executive" can be downloaded. This booklet outlines the structure and purpose of the HSE and gives contact details for key staff nationwide.

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 question raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this case investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
