70 Mr. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if persons (details supplied) in County Meath will be admitted to Harbour View, Maynooth, County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8809/05]
View answerThe Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. This includes responsibility for the provision of health services in the Meath area. Accordingly, my Department has requested the chief officer for the executive's north eastern area to investigate the cases raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
