Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of services at St. Luke's Hospital, Kilkenny is, in the first instance, a matter for the South Eastern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the South Eastern Health Board to investigate the matter and to reply directly to the Deputy.
