Vol. 404 No. 1
190 Mr. Ryan asked the Minister for Health the current position regarding the placement of a severely disabled person (details supplied) in Dublin 2 in a suitable long stay hospital-home having regard to his reply to Parliamentary Question No. 430 of 27 March 1990.
The admission of this person to long-stay accommodation is a matter for the Eastern Health Board. The position is that the person in question is being accommodated in a hostel at present and the hostel authorities have advised the health board that his needs are being adequately catered for at this stage. However, the board are keeping his circumstances under regular review and if his condition should deteriorate to the extent that the hostel is unable to provide for his needs the board will then ensure that he is moved to suitable long-stay accommodation.
