Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 May 2010
150 Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Health and Children if there is a grant scheme to aid the purchase of appropriate equipment for such an external play area; the Health Service Executive support services that are in place to ensure that these facilities are in place in time for the transfer of students with these specific special needs into the school. [21552/10]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department does not fund the provision of play equipment for children. Furthermore, due to industrial action affecting the Health Service Executive it is not possible for the Executive to supply the additional information requested. If this matter remains of continuing concern to you, however, I would invite you to raise it with me again in due course.
