Written Answers. - Health Board Assistance.

John McGuinness

Question:

337 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if the South-Eastern Health Board will offer assistance to a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; and if the action taken by a debt collection agency can be postponed due to the circumstances of the case. [24292/01]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

The Deputy will appreciate that the provision of services is a matter for the South-Eastern Health Board in the first instance. I have, therefore, asked the chief executive officer at the board to look into the matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
