I propose to take Questions Nos. 234 and 235 together.

The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available. However my Department is compiling the information which will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as it is available.

With regard to the Health Service Executive, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to reply directly to the Deputy in respect of related expenditure by the Executive.
