Question 240: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that despite a previous parliamentary question regarding unsigned letters coming from the health repayment scheme in Tralee, County Kerry and that in response, this Deputy got assurances that letters would be signed, letters are still being sent out unsigned even as recent as 20 November 2007; and if she will now issue a directive that all letters coming from State bodies be signed.

The Health Service Executive (HSE) has responsibility for administering the health repayment scheme in conjunction with the appointed scheme administrator KPMG/McCann Fitzgerald. The HSE has informed my Department that all individual letters issued to public representatives are now being signed. However, in certain cases, acknowledgement and deficiency letters which are computer generated and automatically sent out will remain unsigned.
