Written Answers. - Health Board Services.

  149. Dr. Upton asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will address the urgent needs of a home help organisation (details supplied). [28418/04]

  Ms Harney: As the Deputy will be aware, the provision of health services in the Rialto area is, in the first instance, the responsibility of the [539] South Western Area Health Board acting under the aegis of the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive of the authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply directly to her as a matter of urgency.
