John McGuinness

Question:

92 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if the South-Eastern Health Board will arrange respite for a person (details supplied) in County Carlow whose daughter attends the Delta Centre and requires full-time care; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16358/03]

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. O'Malley)

Responsibility for the provision of services to persons with an intellectual disability and those with autism in the Carlow area lies with the South-Eastern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the matter and reply directly to the Deputy.
