View answer191 Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Health if he intends to honour the commitment he gave last July to meet a committee (details supplied) in County Cork; if so, when the meeting will take place; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27738/11]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 190 and 191 together.
The Deputy's questions regarding future services at a home in County Cork and its admission policy are service matters for the Health Service Executive. Accordingly they have been referred to the HSE for direct reply. Requests to meet my colleague Minister Reilly are normally arranged through his Office. Such requests can be made electronically to ministersoffice@health.gov.ie. I suggest that a representative from the Group to which the Deputy refers, contact the Minister's Office and officials will be able to assist with the request accordingly.
