Written Answers - Health Board Services.

John McGuinness

Question:

312 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if home aids will be supplied by the SEHB in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; if the recommendations of the health nurse will be acted upon as a matter of urgency; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6136/03]

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. Callely)

As the Deputy will be aware, responsibility for the provision of health services, in Kilkenny, rests with the South-Eastern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply directly to him as a matter of urgency.
