Question:

187 Ms Burton asked the Minister for Health and Children the arrangement being made to find suitable accommodation for a person (details supplied) in Dublin 15 in view of the difficulties this person has experienced during the past few years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5992/03]

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. T. O'Malley)

Responsibility for the provision of care and treatment of the named individual 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 her directly.
