Written answers

As the Deputy will be aware, the provision of health services in this case is, in the first instance, the responsibility of the North Western Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply direct to him as a matter of urgency.
