Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney)

The provision of hospital services for people resident in County Waterford is, in the first instance, a matter for the South Eastern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the board to reply to the Deputy directly on this issue.
