The HSE Executive, in accordance with the provisions of the Health Act 2004 (as amended), shall not later than the 30th April in each year prepare and adopt a report on its performance in the preceding year. The Executive shall then submit a copy of this annual report to me not later than 21 days after its adoption. It should be noted that the HSE Annual Reports and Financial Statements do not require my approval.

The legislation further provides that I will ensure that copies of this annual report are laid before each House of the Oireachtas within 21 days after receipt and that the HSE will subsequently ensure that the annual report is published as soon as practicable afterwards.

I am currently awaiting formal submission by the HSE of their 2021 Annual Report.
