John McGuinness

Ceist:

118 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children the reasons for the delay in arranging an occupational therapist's report in the case of a person (details supplied) who has applied to the South-Eastern Health Board for a shower unit; and if the public health nurse or occupational therapist can visit the family at a location (details supplied) in County Kilkenny. [17294/03]

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. Callely)

As the Deputy will be aware, responsibility for the provision of health services, in the Kilkenny area rests with the South-Eastern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply direct to him, as a matter of urgency.
