Question:

195 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health if all the services of his Department, the health board and any other State agency as necessary will be used to deal with and to remedy the underlying problems of a family (details supplied) in Dublin 12; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Health (Mr. Howlin)

The provision of health and social services to the family in question is a matter for the Eastern Health Board. Accordingly, the Deputy's question has been referred to the chief executive officer of that board with a request that he examine the case and reply direct to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
