Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 March 2007
394 Mr. O’Connor asked the Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the great work being achieved by a group (details supplied); her views on the importance of this service particularly to worried and upset teenagers; the way this important service could be assisted and funded; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9603/07]
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. The Executive, therefore, 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 case investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
