Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 April 2008
138 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo who needed an urgent appointment in a hospital in Dublin three weeks ago has not been given a bed to date. [16023/08]
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.
