I propose to take Questions Nos. 169 and 170 together.

In relation to the specific queries raised by the Deputy, as these are service matters I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up.
