Minister for Health (Deputy Jennifer Carroll MacNeill)

This Question should be directed to my colleague, the Minister for Public expenditure, infrastructure, Public service reform and Digitalisation as the Civil Service occupational health service and the Office of the Civil Service Chief Medical Officer fall under his remit. Monitoring of occupational health risk is conducted by that Department.
