John McGuinness

Question:

346 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if an occupational therapy report in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Carlow will be arranged; if the home supports and appliances required for the person will be provided without delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17154/04]

Written answers

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

As the Deputy will be aware, the provision of health services in the Carlow area is, in the first instance, the responsibility of the South Eastern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply directly to him as a matter of urgency.
