My Department has no agreements with limited companies on the basis indicated by the Deputy.

Service agreements made with bodies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for the bodies in question and my Department does not routinely compile or hold this information. My Department has referred the Deputy's question to the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Health Service Executive for its attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
