Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

The provision of services to persons with special needs in the Sligo region is the responsibility of the North Western Health Board in the first instance. I have forwarded the Deputy's inquiry to the chief executive officer of the board for investigation and direct reply to the Deputy.
