Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. T. O’Malley)

Responsibility for the provision of services to people with disabilities in the Dublin region lies, in the first instance, with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has, therefore, asked the regional chief executive of the authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply directly to him.
