Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 March 2007
255 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Minister for Health and Children if assistance will be given to a person (details supplied) in Dublin 3 on their release from Beaumont Hospital; if a long term care plan will be put in place to cater for their special needs; if they will be assisted with their housing needs; and if she will work with Dublin City Council on this matter. [8402/07]
View answerOperational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004 and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall vote. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular case raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
