Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Services at the Mater Hospital are provided under an arrangement with the Eastern Regional Health Authority and my Department has, therefore, asked the regional chief executive of the authority to examine the issues raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
