I propose to take Questions Nos. 186 and 187 together.

Subject to overall parameters set by Government, the Health Service Executive has the responsibility for determining the composition of its staffing complement. In this regard, it is a matter for the Executive to manage and deploy its human resources to best meet the requirements of its Annual Service Plan for the delivery of health and personal social services to the public. With regard to vacancies for therapists, as this is a service matter it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply to you.
