Question:

807 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Minister for Health and Children if his Department will work closely with the Eastern Regional Health Authority and the Mater Hospital to get a person (details supplied) into Seancara Nursing Home, St. Canice's Road, Finglas, Dublin 11; and if the maximum support and advice can be given to their family. [19678/03]

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 Dublin area rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has, therefore, asked the regional chief executive of the authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply direct to him, as a matter of urgency.
