356 Dr. McDaid asked the Minister for Health and Children when the permanent appointment of the breast cancer consultant is due to take place in Letterkenny General Hospital. [33905/06]

The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to respond directly to the Deputy in relation to the matter raised.
