John McGuinness

Ceist:

915 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if full time care will be provided for a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny at Comer Hospital, County Kilkenny; if the hip operation they are waiting for will be arranged as soon as possible; and the reason for the delay. [20414/03]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

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