Ceist:404 Ms Keogh asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a person (details supplied) in Dublin 18 suffering from Friedreich's Ataxia who is now in need of a new wheelchair has been informed by the Eastern Health Board in the Dún Laoghaire No. 1 area, that funds are low and that the board has been told to cut back on expenses and that there will be a wait of several months before his application comes up for approval for a new wheelchair; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
