Minister for Children, Disability and Equality

I propose to take Questions Nos. 479, 480 and 481 together.

As this question refers to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.

Question No. 480 answered with Question No. 479.

Question No. 481 answered with Question No. 479.
