Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 July 2008
211 Deputy Olwyn Enright asked the Minister for Health and Children when a unit (details supplied) in County Offaly will be operating at full capacity; if this will be prioritised in view of the transport savings that will be made as a result; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26654/08]
View answerOperational 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 issue 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.
