Vol. 572 No. 6
282 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if an occupational therapist's report will be expedited in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; if the South Eastern Health Board will immediately assess the home support which can be given in this case and taken action in the matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23915/03]
The provision of health related services, including occupational therapy, for people with physical and 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.
