139 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason the HSE and the James Connolly Memorial Hospital have not dealt with the complaint of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 5 in a comprehensive, caring and professional manner; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13573/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. This includes responsibility for the provision of services at James Connolly Memorial Hospital, Blanchardstown. Accordingly, my Department has requested the chief officer for the executive's eastern regional area to examine the issues raised and to reply to the Deputy directly.
