Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 May 2004
279 Mr. O’Shea asked the Minister for Health and Children , further to Question No. 347 of 18 May, if he will clarify in relation to paragraph two of the reply if it was the South Eastern Health Board that made the final decision in regard to the geographical areas to be covered by Caredoc co-operatives; and the order of their commencement. [15324/04]
View answerAs stated in my response to the parliamentary question previously tabled by the Deputy on the matter, responsibility for decisions on geographical areas to be covered by general practitioner out-of-hours co-operatives and the order of their commencement are matters for the CEOs of the relevant health board. The decision about the order of geographical areas brought into Caredoc since its establishment in 1999 was made by the South Eastern Health Board.
