Question:

359 Mr. J. O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will make funding available for the development of St. Patrick’s Upton services at Cloughmacsimon, Bandon, County Cork. [20235/04]

Written answers

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

Responsibility for the funding of services for people with an intellectual disability in County Cork is a matter, in the first instance, for the Southern Health Board. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer of the Southern Health Board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply directly to him.
