Question:

91 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of pupils referred by primary schools in the Waterford constituency who have had psychological assessments carried out in each of the past three years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2088/00]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Cowen)

The information requested is not collected as a matter of routine by my Department. Accordingly, I have asked the chief executive officer of the South Eastern Health Board to investigate the matter and reply directly to the Deputy.
