Ceist:

1027 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Minister for Health and Children if his Department will assist a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath to get a transfer from St. Peters, Castlepollard, County Westmeath, to a service in the Dublin region in order to facilitate their family who live in Clontarf, Dublin 3. [15971/02]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin):

Responsibility for the provision of services to per sons with an intellectual disability and those with autism in the Dublin region rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer of the authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply to him directly.
