Question:

321 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will investigate the application for a grant from the family of a person (details supplied) due to the serious financial undertakings the family has in relation to their son and their efforts to have their son repatriated; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Responsibility for the provision of the services referred to by the Deputy rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has therefore asked the regional chief executive to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply to him directly.
