Micheál Martin

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin):

The responsibility for the provision of services at the Adelaide and Meath hospitals, incorporating the National Children's Hospital, now rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has therefore asked the regional chief executive of the authority to investigate this matter and to reply directly to the Deputy.
