Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 October 2008
267 Deputy P. J. Sheehan asked the Minister for Health and Children if assistance will be given to a person (details supplied) in Dublin 6W to meet the cost of medical equipment purchased; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35577/08]
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 issue 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.
