119 Mr. Ring asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason a subvention application which has been submitted to the Western Health Board, has not been dealt with for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo. [30585/04]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the provision of health services in County Mayo is, in the first instance, the responsibility of the Western Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply direct to him as a matter of urgency.
120 Dr. Upton asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will investigate the huge delays in providing occupational therapy in a community care area (details supplied), for example, for a person in Dublin 8. [30586/04]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the provision of health services in the Dublin 8 area is, in the first instance, the responsibility of the South Western Area Health Board acting under the aegis of the Eastern Regional Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive of the authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply direct to her as a matter of urgency.
