97 Miss Harney asked the Minister for Health if a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny who is on heart medication is entitled to an emergency bleeper; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2869/97]
, Limerick East): As the Deputy may be aware the health boards are responsible for the provision of emergency bleepers to individuals in need of them for reasons of infirmity, illness or age.
I am having the case raised by the Deputy investigated and I have asked the South-Eastern Health Board to respond directly to you with their findings.
