Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin

Ceist:

166 Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that Buncrana, the second largest town in Donegal, is without both an ambulance service and an appropriate out-of-hours doctors’ service; and if the necessary funding for these essential health services will be provided sooner rather than later.

Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney)

Responsibility for the provision of health services to persons residing in County Donegal rests with the North Western Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
