166 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Minister for Health and Children the services available for those over 18 year of age with autism on the northside of Dublin; the plans being put in place to provide services for young persons with autism when they reach 18 years of age; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14918/04]
View answerResponsibility for the provision of health related services for people with an intellectual disability and autism in the north Dublin area lies, in the first instance, with the Northern Area Health Board. My Department, therefore, has asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply directly to him.
