Brian O'Shea

Question:

169 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will provide the required physiotherapy service for a person (details supplied) who is a patient in St. Vincent's District Hospital, Dungarvan, County Waterford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12628/98]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Cowen)

The provision of services in cases such as this is a matter for the relevant health board. Accordingly, I have written to the chief executive officer of the South-Eastern Health Board and asked him to have the matter examined and to reply directly to the Deputy.
