Vol. 368 No. 10

Written Answers. - Patient's Transport Service.

96.

asked the Minister for Health in view of the decision to close the maternity unit at St. Vincent's Hospital, Athy; if free transport will be provided to the relatives of patients who wish to visit Portlaoise or Dublin hospitals and who cannot afford to provide their own transport.

Health boards, under the Health Acts, may provide a transport service for patients only and I have no plans to extend this service to include relatives of patients.
