Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 December 2007
141 Deputy Tony Gregory asked the Minister for Health and Children if the Health Service Executive will assist a person (details supplied) in Dublin 7 in the Mater Hospital in obtaining a place in a nursing home. [32859/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraOperational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004 and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall vote. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular case raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
