Aengus Ó Snodaigh

Ceist:

269 Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will investigate the circumstances of the committal of a person (details supplied) to Willows Ward, Grangegorman psychiatric hospital; and the steps being taken to reintegrate this person into society in line with the community care model. [25893/03]

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. T. O'Malley)

Responsibility for the provision of care and treatment of the named individual rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has therefore asked the regional chief executive to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply to him directly.
