Ceist:

350 Mr. Crowe asked the Minister for Health and Children the level of financial support he or the Eastern Health Board has given the Alzheimer's day care centre, Curlew Road, Drimnagh, Dublin, to support its planned 12 bed extension; his views on whether this will be sufficient to see this project completed; and if not, if he will consider investing more funds.

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of services in Dublin rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department is currently investigating this matter with the Eastern Regional Health Authority and a reply will be forwarded directly to the Deputy in due course.
