139 Mr. P. Breen asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children, further to Question No. 115 of 1 February 2005, when an assessment of the needs for equipment of a person (details supplied) in County Clare will be carried out; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [16947/05]
View answerThe Health Act 2004 provided for the establishment of the Health Service Executive 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 County Clare. Accordingly, my Department has requested the chief officer of the executive's mid-western area to investigate the matter raised and reply direct to the Deputy.
