Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 December 2004
125 Mr. McGuinness asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason there is no occupational therapy for paediatrics employed at the county clinic, James Green, Kilkenny; the arrangements which can be made for such a service to be provided in the case of a person (details supplied); if a decision in the case will be expedited; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33257/04]
View answerThe provision of health services, including occupational therapy, for people with a physical and-or sensory disability is a matter for the Eastern Regional Health Authority and the health boards in the first instance. Accordingly, the Deputy's question has been referred to the chief executive officer of the South Eastern Health Board with a request that he examine the matter raised and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
