Tom Moffatt

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Dr. Moffatt)

As the Deputy is aware, the provision of health services in the Dublin area is a matter in the first instance for the Eastern Health Board. I have asked the chief executive officer of the Eastern Health Board to examine this case as a matter of urgency and respond directly to the Deputy with the board's findings.
