Minister of State at the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

I propose to take Questions Nos. 332 and 333 together.

As these questions refer to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.

Question No. 333 answered with Question No. 332.
