Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 November 2005
151 Mr. Gogarty asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if and when eyesight and hearing testing will be carried out for senior infants at a school (details supplied) in County Dublin in the coming year. [36444/05]
View answerThe 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. This includes responsibility for the provision of eyesight and hearing testing to be carried out for senior infants at school. Accordingly, my Department has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
