Written answers

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

The provision of health services in Kilkenny is, in the first instance, the responsibility of the SEHB. My Department has asked its CEO to investigate the matter and to reply directly to the Deputy, as a matter of urgency.
