John McGuinness

Question:

159 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a request by a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny to obtain her daughter's files from Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, was ignored; if the letters from the person of 12 December 1997 and 1 July 1997 to a person (details supplied) can now be dealt with and the information requested granted. [3588/01]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

As the provision of medical services for patients at Beaumont Hospital is provided for under an arrangement with the Eastern Regional Health Authority, my Department has asked the regional chief executive of the authority to investigate the position in relation to this case and to reply to the Deputy directly.
