Vol. 520 No. 5

Written Answers. - Services for People with Disabilities.

Róisín Shortall

Ceist:

127 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will have urgent arrangements made to provide an appropriate service for a person (details supplied) in Dublin 9 who is autistic and profoundly deaf and who has no service currently; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16281/00]

The provision of health related support services to persons with autism in the Dublin region is a matter for the Eastern Regional Health Authority in the first instance. I have asked the chief executive of the authority to investigate this matter and to reply directly to the Deputy.
