Minister for Health (Deputy Leo Varadkar): I propose to take Questions Nos. 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 125 and 126 together. As this is a service matter, it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.   If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days he should contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
