Paul Connaughton

Question:

532 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will request the Western Health Board to allow the board of directors of BACD to tender for the purchase of the nurses home in Ballinasloe, County Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11379/04]

Written answers

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

The provision of health services in the Galway area is, in the first instance, the responsibility of the 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.
