Liam Aylward

Question:

353 Mr. Aylward asked the Minister for Health and Children if, further to parliamentary Question No. 109 of 1 February 2001, which refers to the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny who is awaiting an admission date to Beaumont Hospital, he will indicate when it is likely this person will be admitted; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17034/01]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

The provision of services to people living in County Kilkenny is, in the first instance, the responsibility of the South Eastern Health Board.

I have, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the board to examine the matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
