Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 2 April 2008
324 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason the provision of transport to a person (details supplied) in County Mayo has stopped; and if this will be restored as otherwise the person has no option but to cancel their hospital appointments. [11613/08]
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.
