John McGuinness

Question:

85 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children the reasons increased sub vention and top up was refused in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; if the appeal which was refused will be re-examined; and if a review of the case will be expedited. [16351/03]

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

As the Deputy will be aware, the responsibility for the provision of health services in the Kilkenny area 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 reply direct to him, as a matter of urgency.
