Written Answers - Patient Treatment.

Fergus O'Dowd

Question:

324 Mr. O'Dowd asked the Minister for Health and Children the situation with regard to the case of a person (details supplied) in County Louth whose child has stated that she was oversedated in a hospital without monitoring or consent. [6215/03]

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

Responsibility for the care and treatment of the person referred to by the Deputy rests with the North-Eastern Health Board. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply to him directly.
