357 Mr. P. McGrath asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of staff in her Department for whom two or more phone lines have been provided at their home; the number of lines provided in each case; the reason for this; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13050/07]

There are no staff in my Department for whom two or more phone lines have been provided at their homes.

358 Mr. P. McGrath asked the Minister for Health and Children the amount of money paid to the training officers in her Department in respect of travel and subsistence allowances; the number of training days organised; and if the relocation of CMOD to Tullamore has had an impact on the work of training officers or on the work of those who attend courses there. [13065/07]

Since CMOD moved to Tullamore in July 2006 no travel and subsistence has been paid to the training officer. The relocation of CMOD to Tullamore has had a limited impact on the work of the training officer or on the work of those who attend courses there. The relocation of CMOD has not affected the number of training days organised by the Department of Health and Children in 2006 which was 90 days.

359 Mr. P. McGrath asked the Minister for Health and Children the average amount of travel and subsistence allowances paid by her Department in respect of attendance at pre-retirement planning courses prior to the relocation of the Civil Service Training Centre to Tullamore; the average amount paid in respect of attendance at the same course since the centre was relocated; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13095/07]

Travel and subsistence amounting to €781 was paid to one officer in 2006 in respect of attendance at a pre-retirement planning course in Tullamore. No travel and subsistence claims were received in the preceding year in respect of attendance at such courses.
