View answer237 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Health the extent to which it might be possible to offer backup counselling and support services for stroke patients when they leave hospital; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35431/11]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 227 and 237 together.
The information requested by the Deputies is not readily available in my Department. Therefore I have asked the Health Service Executive to supply the necessary information to me and I will forward it to the Deputies as soon as possible.
