John McGuinness

Ceist:

247 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if, in view of the recent report on nursing home subvention, he will re-examine the level of subvention being paid to a person (details supplied) in County Carlow to determine if the subvention should be increased substantially and back dated. [4739/01]

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Dr. Moffatt)

The provision of health services in the Carlow area is a matter for the South Eastern Health Board. I have asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate this case and respond directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
