Finian McGrath

Ceist:

939 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will examine the case of a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if this person will receive the help of a personal assistant. [15582/02]

The provision of health related support services, including personal assistance services, to people with physical and sensory disabilities, is a matter for the Eastern Regional Health Authority and the health boards in the first instance. 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.
