Section 6 of the Health Act, 2004 states that the Health Service Executive is a corporate body. In view of this, the number of complaints received by the Health Service Executive under its complaints system and the breakdown of these complaints is a matter for the HSE.

Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to respond directly to the Deputy.
