I propose to take Questions Nos. 79 and 80 together.

Policies in the health sector are implemented by a range of bodies, each of which carries out its functions in accordance with the relevant statutory provision and has its own governance arrangements covering operational policy, management, administration, service delivery and accountability. My Department does not routinely collect such detailed information as is requested in the Deputy's question. However my Department is compiling the information which is currently available and will furnish it to the Deputy.

My Department has also requested the Parliamentary Affairs Unit of the Health Service Executive to reply directly to the Deputy in respect of related expenditure by the Executive.
