The provision of health and personal social services to persons with physical and sensory disabilities is a matter for the relevant health board. Accordingly, the Deputy's question has been referred to the regional chief executive of the Eastern Regional Health Authority, with a request that he examine the matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
