Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 November 2004
213 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will urgently investigate the conditions at the Alzheimer’s unit in Blanchardstown Hospital and the general lack of dignity shown to patients; and if the situation will be improved immediately. [31344/04]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the provision of health services in Blanchardstown is, in the first instance, the responsibility of the Northern Area Health Board acting under the aegis of the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive of the authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply direct to him as a matter of urgency.
