Ceist:

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin):

The South-Eastern Health Board is responsible for the provision of hospital services in the case to which the Deputy refers. I have, therefore, asked the chief executive of the board to look into the matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
