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

Responsibility for the provision of the services referred to by the Deputy rests with the South Eastern Health Board. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply to him directly.
