Finian McGrath

Question:

465 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Minister for Health and Children if the enclosed service at a school (details supplied) in County Kerry could not provide a place for a person (details supplied) due to a lack of funding; and if an urgent decision will be made in this case. [7974/03]

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

Responsibility for the provision of services in the Kerry region lies with the Southern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the matter and reply directly to the Deputy.
