This report was published prior to the establishment of the Health Service Executive and many of the issues raised in this report are now more appropriate to the HSE. Officials of my Department will be meeting the HSE shortly and this issue will be discussed at that meeting. I will write to the Deputy regarding the outcome of the meeting.
