Vol. 503 No. 7
97 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children if a person (details supplied) in Dublin 8 is receiving all her entitlements from his Department in view of the fact she is raising an autistic child; if any further measures are available from his Department or other agencies to assist her; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11120/99]
As the Deputy will be aware, the provision of health services to persons with autism in the Dublin region is the responsibility of the Eastern Health Board. As it would not be appropriate to provide the information sought by the Deputy in relation to the individual concerned by way of a parliamentary question, I have asked the health board to examine this matter and to respond directly to the Deputy.
