143 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Health the total value of assets in the ownership of each health board or in his ownership; if he will give a breakdown of the value of property assets, leased properties and land-banks necessary and required for use at present; the value of such properties which are surplus to required use; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Work on the preparation of the data requested by the Deputy is in progress. It has not been possible, within the time available, to gather and collate all the information necessary for the reply. However, I will communicate with the Deputy as soon as possible.
