Vol. 530 No. 6
233 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason the pilot physiotherapy scheme in Louisburgh, County Mayo, cannot be extended; if the service can be retained in the area, rather than basing the service at Mayo General Hospital; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4581/01]
The provision of health related support services, including physiotherapy, to people with physical and sensory disabilities is a matter for the relevant health board. Accordingly, the Deputy's question has been referred to the chief executive officer of the Western Health Board, with a request that she examine the matter and reply directly to the Deputy, as a matter of urgency.
