Questions (428, 429)

John Perry

Question:

497 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) in County Sligo will be called for an appointment; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [10481/07]

Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney)

Operational 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 this case investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
