Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 February 2006
222 Mr. G. Murphy asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if a hospital (details supplied) in County Cork will be closed or downgraded; and if this psychiatric/geriatric hospital which has 54 long-stay patients will be adequately funded to stay in operation with no cutbacks whatsoever. [4029/06]
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. Accordingly, the Department of Health and Children has asked the parliamentary affairs division of the HSE to arrange to have the matter investigated and for a reply to issue directly to the Deputy.
