Question 208: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if she will make a statement on Our Lady's Hospital, Lee Road, Cork; and the plans she has in order to eliminate what is considered to be the biggest derelict site on the northside of Cork City, most of which has been unoccupied since 2003.

Question 209: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if she will make a statement on the recent arson attack on the unoccupied St. Kevin's Unit on the vacant site of Our Lady's Hospital, Lee Road, Cork and the damage that was done in that arson attack; and the cost of security services on an annual basis over the past six years for that site.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 208 and 209 together.
Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004 and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall vote. The Executive, therefore, is the appropriate body to consider the particular matter raised by the Deputy.
My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
