Vol. 574 No. 1

Written Answers. - Community Care.

Róisín Shortall

Ceist:

382 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Health and Children the community care area which is responsible for a person (details supplied); his views on whether this is an entirely unsatisfactory arrangement; if his Department will discern through which of the community care areas of the health board an application for orthopaedic shoes can be processed; the way in which, without a change in regulations, this person was deemed entitled to such footwear on two previous occasions but is now deemed no longer so; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26304/03]

As the Deputy will be aware, responsibility for the provision of health services, in the Dublin area rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has, therefore, asked the regional chief executive of the authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply directly to her as a matter of urgency.
