I regret that due to industrial action I am not in a position to provide a substantive response to your Parliamentary Question. However, if this matter remains of continuing concern to you, I would invite you to raise it with me again in due course.

I wish to advise the Deputy that due to industrial action affecting the Health Service Executive it is not possible for the Executive to supply the information requested. If this matter remains of continuing concern to you, however, I would invite you to raise it with me again in due course
