Under the Health Act 2004 , as amended, the Health Service Executive has responsibility for the provision of health and personal social services, including addiction services. The Health Service Executive can either provide these services directly or fund organisations to provide them on its behalf.

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