180 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if the SWAHB will provide dental treatment urgently for a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12; if the SWAHB cannot provide this service, if the hospital payment fund will be made available in this case; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29414/04]
View answerResponsibility for the provision of dental treatment to eligible persons in Dublin 12 rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has asked the regional chief executive to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
181 Mr. Ring asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason information promised in reply to Parliamentary Question No. 861 of 29 September 2004 has not yet been supplied by the Western Health Board; and when this information will be provided. [29415/04]
View answerDue to problems experienced by the Western Health Board with their computer system, all of the information requested by the Deputy was not easily accessible. The board has advised my Department that it is in the process of securing the information and it will be forwarded to the Deputy upon receipt.
