David Stanton

Question:

385 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Health and Children the psychological services available in the Cork area to assess children; the numbers waiting in each of these services; the average waiting time; his plans to augment these services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11840/02]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of psychological services in the Cork area rests with the Southern Health Board. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply to him directly.
