Question:

957 Mr. O'Connor asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to the concerns being expressed in the Tallaght area regarding the delivery of psychiatric services due to the non-availability of facilities at the Millbrook Lawns Health Centre and the view that these services should be available in the east Tallaght area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20627/03]

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. T. O'Malley)

Responsibility for the provision of the services referred to by the Deputy 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.
