Vol. 417 No. 1

Written Answers. - Transfer of Patient.

Máirín Quill

Ceist:

218 Miss Quill asked the Minister for Health if he will give details of, (1) the history of the admission of a patient (details supplied) in County Kerry and (2) the current status of this patient in this hospital; if, in view of the fact that this patient's sister, (details supplied) (a) has made arrangements to have the patient cared for in a private residence (details supplied) for the elderly in County Kerry and (b) is prepared to pay for the full costs of this private residential care, the Southern Health Board will make arrangements for the transfer of this patient to the private residential care in County Kerry, as has been requested.

It would be inappropriate of me to reply to the Deputy's question which involves clinical details of an individual patient.

I will ask the inspector of mental hospitals to investigate the situation of the patient referred to and will communicate separately with the Deputy.
