Question 172: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 8 who was just released from hospital and to whom the Health Service Executive will not release the wheelchair assigned to them until they have a ramp installed at their flat; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that Dublin City Council will not install the ramp until they receive an occupational therapist report, the waiting time for which is excessively long; and if she will enquire into the matter and take steps to ensure an occupational therapist is assigned without further delay.

The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
