Question 88: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children her plans for the long awaited care for the elderly home in Ballinrobe, County Mayo; her views on whether this is an essential service which has been promised to the area for in excess of 20 years; her further views on whether, due to the huge catchment area this home would service, this would alleviate pressure on both the Galway hospitals and Mayo General Hospital; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, for which the Health Service Executive is responsible under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, the Department of Health and Children has asked the parliamentary affairs division of the HSE to arrange for this matter to be investigated and a reply to be issued directly to the Deputy.
