I propose to take Questions Nos. 163 to169, inclusive and No.171 together.

As these are service issues, these questions have been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with the Executive.
