John McGuinness

Question:

156 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny will be transferred from a nursing home in Carrick-on-Suir to a nursing home close to their own community in Kilkenny; if the subvention being paid will be increased; and if the matter can be expedited. [20943/02]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of health services in the Kilkenny area rests with the South-Eastern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the matter and forward a reply direct to the Deputy.
