The total expenditure for my Department for 2011 in relation to the implementation of the Official Languages Act, 2003 amounts to €11,905. Details are as follows:

Description of service
Cost
Translation of policy and other documents
5,670
Printing costs of Irish version of the ‘Strategic Framework for Role Expansion of Nurses and Midwives: Promoting Quality Care’
1,614
State Directory Eircom Phone Book Entry 2012 for Department of Health
4,621
€11,905

The cost of implementing the Official Languages Act 2003 in respect of agencies under the remit of my Department is an operational matter for the agencies themselves. With regard to the Health Service Executive the question has been forwarded to their Parliamentary Affairs Division for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
