Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. Callely)

In the Mayo area the scheme is operated by the WHB on behalf of the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. My Department has asked the board's CEO to investigate the matter and to reply directly to the Deputy, as a matter of urgency.
