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

Responsibility for the provision of services referred to by the Deputy rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has, therefore, asked the regional chief executive to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply to him directly.
