Amharc ar fhreagra409. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Health if he or the Health Service Executive will continue all of the services at St. Patrick's on the Kells Road in County Kilkennyl; if the executive and St. Patrick's have met those concerned to explain what is happening relative to St. Patrick's; if a grant system will be put in place for parents who require respite hours to allow the parents to access the services privately; if Suicide or Survive, SOS, or the executive will provide a long-term plan for respite; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 407 and 409 together.
As the Deputy's questions relate to service matters, I have arranged for the questions to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, he can contact my Private Office and they will follow the matter up with the HSE.
