Written Answers - Nursing Home Care.

Gay Mitchell

Question:

222 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children the way in which a person (details supplied) in Dublin 8 might find a nursing home for the long-term care of their daughter, especially when she will be on her own in later life. [8718/03]

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 him directly.
