Written Answers. - Schools Medical Service.

Bernard J. Durkan

Ceist:

190 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science if he has received any requests for improvements to the school medical services; if it is intended to increase the number of examinations on an annual basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16271/00]

Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods)

My Department does not operate a schools medical service and it appears that the matters being raised by the Deputy would be more appropriate to my colleague, the Minister for Health and Children.
