226 Mr. McGuinness asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if care will be provided for a person (details supplied) in County Carlow at the Alzheimer’s unit in Carlow; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1197/05]
View answerThe Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive is required to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. Responsibility for the provision of health services in County Carlow rests with the executive. My Department has requested the chief officer for the executive's south-eastern area to investigate the matter raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
