Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 September 2008
615 Deputy Emmet Stagg asked the Minister for Health and Children if, in view of the waiting lists for eye examinations for children at Maynooth and at Naas Health Centres, she will use optometrists as well as ophthalmologists to reduce the waiting times in both health centres. [31262/08]
View answerAs the Health Service Executive has the operational and funding responsibility for Primary Care services, it is the appropriate body to consider the particular matter raised by the Deputy. 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.
