46 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will be given respite care in view of the fact that it was requested some time ago and Deputy Ring has been unable to get a reply from the Western Health Board in this regard. [24745/96]

Minister for Health (Mr. Noonan,

I am having the case raised by the Deputy investigated and I have asked the Western Health Board to respond directly to him with the findings.
