I propose to take Questions Nos. 459 and 460 together.

As the particular issues raised by the Deputy relate to an individual case, this is a service matter for the Health Service Executive. Accordingly, I have arranged for the Deputy's questions to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy.
