Written answers

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

The provision of health services in the Galway area is, in the first instance, the responsibility of the WHB. My Department has asked its CEO to investigate the matter and to reply directly to the Deputy, as a matter of urgency.
