Question:

102 Mr. Ring asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the services in place for families with children who have ADHD in the Western Health Board and Mayo region; if counselling or support services are in place; if these services are being cut back; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30739/04]

Written answers

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

Responsibility for the provision of such services rests with the Western Health Board. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply to him directly.
