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

The provision of health related services, including funding of services, to people with physical and-or sensory disabilities is a matter for the Eastern Regional Health Authority and the health boards in the first instance. Accordingly, the Deputy's question has been referred to the chief executive officer of the Southern Health Board with a request that he examine the matter and reply to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
