Minister for Health (Deputy Leo Varadkar): As the issues raised by the Deputy are service matters, the question has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply.

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 them.
