As the Deputy will be aware, responsibility for the provision of health services, in the Dublin 11 area rests with the Northern Area Health Board acting under the aegis of the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive of the authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply direct to him, as a matter of urgency.
