Vol. 571 No. 1

Written Answers. - Respite Care Services.

Paul Kehoe

Ceist:

1012 Mr. Kehoe asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in County Wexford no longer receives the monthly respite care; if it can be reinstated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21215/03]

The provision of health related services, including respite care, for people with physical and-or 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 South Eastern Health Board with a request that he examine the matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
