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

Responsibility for the provision of funding for services to persons with disabilities, including intellectual disability and those with autism in the Waterford region is a matter, in the first instance, for the South Eastern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the health board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply directly to him.
