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. This includes decisions in relation to the scheduling of orthopaedic procedures at Tallaght Hospital. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have a reply issued to the Deputy on the operational issue raised.
