Delegated health powers
The Leader confirms that functions have been drafted for formal delegation to Minister of State Alex White, prompting a positive response from Senator O’Brien.
The Leader of the Opposition, Senator Darragh O'Brien, asked a question on the devolvement of powers for primary care services to the Minister of State, Deputy Alex White. The Senator will recall that he was appointed by the Cabinet last week. A statutory instrument to delegate certain functions to him has been drafted and the formalities will be completed shortly.
