Freagraí scríofa

The provision of home help services, and any matters relating to such provision within its functional area, is a matter for the relevant health board or the Eastern Regional Health Authority, ERHA. In the case of County Wexford this responsibility lies with the South Eastern Health Board. In the circumstances, my Department has requested the chief executive officer of the South Eastern Health Board to reply direct to the Deputy.

Finian McGrath

Ceist:

151 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason the dentist at Beaumont Hospital, Dublin 9 was not replaced; and the position regarding dental services at the hospital. [27816/04]

Amharc ar fhreagra

The management of dental services in the Eastern Regional Health Authority area is the statutory responsibility of the regional chief executive. My Department has, therefore, asked the regional chief executive to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.

Finian McGrath

Ceist:

152 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason there was no response from the North Western Health Board to a query in the case of a person (details supplied); the reason no real attempt was made to resolve this issue at a local level; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27818/04]

Amharc ar fhreagra

Responsibility for the matters raised by the Deputy rests in this instance with the North Western Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer to investigate these matters and to reply to the Deputy directly.
