Deputy Tom Hayes asked the Minister for Health and Children if the mental health day care and day unit in Clonmel, County Tipperary started construction on 7 April 2008 as planned; and the completion date in relation to same. [25836/08]

  Deputy John Moloney: Operational 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. The Executive, therefore, is the appropriate body to consider the particular matter 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.
