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

Responsibility for the provision of health services in the Kildare area rests with the SWAHB acting under the aegis of the ERHA. My Department has asked its chief executive officer to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply directly to him, as a matter of urgency.
