Question:

321 Mr. Browne (Wexford) asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in County Wexford has had her dialysis treatment time at Waterford General Hospital changed; and if he will have arrangements made to have her attend during the day time. [27705/98]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Cowen)

The provision of medical treatment to eligible persons in County Wexford, in this instance, is the statutory responsiblity of the South-Eastern Health Board. I have asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the position in relation to this case and to reply to the Deputy directly.
