Vol. 575 No. 3
228 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Health and Children when a disabled person's grant application with the South-Western Area Health Board will be processed in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28124/03]
The provision of health related services, including disabled person's grant applications, for people with physical and-or sensory disabilities is a matter for the Eastern Regional Health Authority and the health boards in the first instance. Accordingly, the Deputy's question has been referred to the regional chief executive of the Eastern Regional Health Authority with a request that he examine the matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
