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

As the Deputy will be aware, the provision of health services in Galway is, in the first instance, the responsibility of the Western Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply direct to him as a matter of urgency.
