Question:

105 Deputy Ulick Burke asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of children placed in mental health institutions in the Health Service Executive West in each county within the health area; the number in each case who are in need of special needs support, and the numbers taken from these institutions during the past five years. [23736/10]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Deputy John Moloney)

I wish to advise the Deputy that due to industrial action affecting the Health Service Executive it is not possible for the Executive to supply the 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.
