Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of services to persons with an intellectual disability and those with autism in the Limerick region rests with the Mid-Western Health Board. Therefore my Department has asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply to her directly.
