I propose to take Questions Nos. 371, 390 and 415 together.

The provision of the appropriate infrastructure to facilitate the delivery of primary care services is the responsibility of the Health Service Executive. My Department has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to arrange to have the matters raised by the Deputies investigated and to have replies issued directly to the Deputies as a matter of urgency.

Question No. 372 answered with Question No. 285.

Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular matter raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
