101. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Health when the wheelchair of a child (details supplied) in County Clare who suffers from cerebral palsy will be repaired, as the child currently has no working wheelchair; when the wheelchair, which is over one year old, will be fitted with the correct back; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health

As the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, he can contact my Private Office and they will follow the matter up with the HSE.
