Minister for Children, Disability and Equality

I propose to take Questions Nos. 146 and 147 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. 147 answered with Question No. 146.
