John McGuinness

Question:

93 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason subvention payments in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny have not been made to a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; if the South-Eastern Health Board will state clearly the reasons for the delay; if there is outstanding documentation which the family should provide to complete the claim; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18156/03]

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

As the Deputy may be aware, responsibility for the administration of health services in County Kilkenny 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.
