Finian McGrath

Question:

269 Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Health and Children if she will support a group (details supplied) in County Limerick in their efforts that funding should be transferred to the Health Service Executive disability units for the delivery of health related services as many disability groups are dependent on FÁS community employment schemes.

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Deputy Jimmy Devins)

The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. 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.
