Willie Penrose

Question:

96 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Health and Children if the necessary treatment will be afforded to a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath for the person's hip; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29562/03]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of hospital services to residents of County Westmeath rests with the Midland Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate this case and to reply to the Deputy directly.
