Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2004
381 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Health and Children if he has reviewed the spread of children’s hospital services through the Dublin region; if he has received proposals for the development of an accident and emergency department for children at Beaumont Hospital; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17401/04]
View answerResponsibility for the provision of hospital services to children in the Dublin region rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority, and services at Beaumont Hospital are provided under an arrangement with the authority. My Department has, therefore, asked the regional chief executive of the authority to investigate the issue raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
