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

Responsibility for the provision of services, including care plans, for persons with an intellectual disability and those with autism in the Dublin 9 area is a matter, in the first instance, for the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has asked the regional chief executive of the Eastern Regional Health Authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply directly to him.
