Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of services at Letterkenny General Hospital rests with the North Western Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
