Minister for Health

My Department does not use the detailed surveillance technology.

In relation to technology used by the HSE, I have forwarded your query to them and asked that they respond directly to you on this.

Details for other bodies under the aegis of my Department are operational matters for the bodies concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly.
