Gay Mitchell

Question:

141 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children if the case will be examined for persons (details supplied) in Dublin 12 to ensure that they receive adequate assistance in view of the fact that they were offered only £1.50 per month assistance from the health board. [13485/99]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Cowen)

As the Deputy will be aware, the provision of health services in the Dublin area is a matter for the Eastern Health Board. I have asked the chief executive officer of the board to examine this case and respond directly to the Deputy with the board's findings as a matter of urgency.
