116 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason for the shortfall in funding of trainee psychologists posts to the North-Western Health Board; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12789/02]
Responsibility for the funding of trainee psychologist posts, over and above those funded by this Department arising out of the report of the joint review group on psychology services, rests with the health boards. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer of the North-Western Health Board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply to him directly.
