Seán Ryan

Ceist:

233 Mr. S. Ryan asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason an application for nursing home subvention for a person (details supplied) in Dublin 20 has not yet been processed; and if he will arrange for the application to be processed without delay. [15751/01]

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

The provision of health services in the Dublin area is a matter for the Eastern Regional Health Authority. In this regard, I have asked the chief executive of the authority to investigate this matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
