Question 183: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if the Mater Public Hospital is tendering for the outsourcing of the central supplies department in relation to buying and distribution of essential supplies and services at the hospital; and if this will lead to a huge expense especially at a time when the Health Service Executive has great concerns for hospital budgets.

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