As this is a service matter I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 179, 190 and 191 together.

I am familiar with the recently published Report by the HSE referred to by the Deputy, including concerns around funding or other serious issues highlighted in the report. I also visited Roscommon earlier this year and met with HSE officials to discuss the implementation of the recommendations strategy. I have referred the question of the Executive for a more detailed reply to the Deputy. The Deputy can rest assured that the Department of Health and I will continue to closely monitor the progress of the Implementation Team.
