I propose to take Questions Nos. 193 to 203, inclusive, and 205 to 210, inclusive, together.

The Deputy's questions relate to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have these matters investigated and replies issued directly to the Deputy.
