Gay Mitchell

Question:

354 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children if a home help service will be provided for a person (details supplied) in Dublin 6W in view of the extraordinary health situation involved. [17177/04]

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 Dublin 6 area is, in the first instance, the responsibility of the South Western Area Health Board acting under the aegis of the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive of the authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply directly to him as a matter of urgency.
