Question:

139 Ms B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that there is no specialised physiotherapist at Kerry General Hospital to deal with patients suffering with multiple sclerosis; if funding will be provided for this purpose; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney)

The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
