Vol. 573 No. 5

Written Answers. - Vaccination Programme.

Billy Timmins

Ceist:

133 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Health and Children the position in relation to primary school children who have not received their vaccinations in school due to the doctors dispute earlier in 2003; if these children have been informed of the vaccinations they have not received, particularly who have not left school; when they will be vaccinated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25899/03]

Responsibility for the provision of vaccines to eligible persons rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority and the regional health boards. My Department has asked the chief executive officers of the authority and health boards to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
