Ceisteanna (165)

Paul Connaughton

Ceist:

249 Mr. Connaughton asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason an application for the provision of a mobile wheelchair for a person (details supplied) in County Galway has not been approved; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that this person is becoming more dependent every passing day on the services of a wheelchair; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that due to problems to the person’s hands the person is unable to use the ordinary wheelchair and there is urgent need to have a mobile wheelchair provided; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4258/06]

The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to arrange to have a reply on this issue sent directly to the Deputy.
