258 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Health and Children if free medical transport will be arranged for a person (details supplied) in County Sligo on medical grounds; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22376/98]
The provision of medical treatment to eligible persons in County Sligo is the statutory responsibility of the North-Western Health Board in the first instance. I have asked the chief executive officer of the North-Western Health Board to investigate this matter and to report to the Deputy directly as a matter of urgency.
