[14934/95]
92 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for Health if he will consult with the VHI to ensure that a person (details supplied) in Dublin 3 receives insurance cover for an implantable cardioverter defribillator, which is a life saving device that he had fitted recently; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Limerick East): I propose to take Questions Nos. 90 and 92 together.
The determination of insurance cover in regard to individual VHI subscribers is primarily a matter for the VHI board. However, I have been advised by the VHI that payment is this case has been approved and the individual in question has been notified.
