Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 31 October 2007
197 Deputy Mary O’Rourke asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath was refused a drug which would benefit their medical condition; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26121/07]
View answerOperational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services is a matter for the Health Service Executive 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.
