371 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if funding is available to continue the programme of the inner ear cochlear department at Beaumont Hospital; if proposed implant for a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12 will be carried out on the scheduled date; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerResponsibility for the provision of health services for persons residing in counties Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow 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 matters raised and to reply to the Deputy directly.
