The Department of Health does not own any buildings. However, in relation to Hawkins House, where the Department is currently situated, a defibrillator was purchased for €2,359.50 in July 2005. I have asked the HSE to reply directly to the Deputy regarding the cost of defibrillators within its organisation. Details for other bodies under the aegis of the Department are operational matters for the bodies concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly.
