165 Mr. McGuinness asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will investigate the reply given to Question No. 811 of 29 September 2004 in view of the fact that the assessment quoted was undertaken two years ago and the parents’ preferred option has not been acted on to date; if a decision will be expedited and action taken in the case. [27937/04]
View answerMy Department has again made inquiries of the relevant health board in respect of this matter. The health board has informed my officials that the preferred option referred to by the Deputy in his question is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Education and Science, and therefore does not come within my remit. My Department has been in touch with the Department of Education and Science and understands that it will contact the Deputy concerning this matter.
