I propose to take Questions Nos. 284, 285, 368, 369 and 371 together.

As the information requested by the Deputy relates to service issues and is not routinely provided to my Department, I have asked the Health Service Executive to reply directly to the Deputy on these matters. If he has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, he should please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter.
