As the Deputy is aware, the Health Act 2004 provides the HSE with responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services. As a Statutory Body, the provision of these services including information in relation to the three district hospitals raised by the Deputy, is a matter for the HSE. Accordingly, the matter has been referred to the Executive for direct rely to the Deputy.
