Vol. 506 No. 2
287 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Health and Children if free travel will be authorised for a person (details supplied) in County Sligo for her appointment in Beaumount Hospital, Dublin 9; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15444/99]
The provision of medical services to eligible persons in County Sligo is the statutory responsibility of the North Western Health Board in the first instance. The associated travel arrangements are also a matter for the health board. I have asked the chief executive officer of the board to investi gate this matter and to reply to the Deputy directly as a matter of urgency.
