536 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if ongoing care will be provided by the South Eastern Health Board for a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny in view of the fact that their medical condition and the family support they have is at this location; and if he will expedite an early decision in the case.

Written answers

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

The provision of health services in the Kilkenny area is, in the first instance, the responsibility of the South Eastern 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.
