I propose to take Questions Nos. 306 and 307 together.

I have asked the Health Information and Quality Authority to confirm if and when it was advised of the issues raised by the Deputy. The Authority is checking its records and I will revert to the Deputy shortly when I have received its reply.

The remaining elements of the Deputy's question are a service matter, and accordingly have been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
