Question 315: To ask the Minister for Health and Children her views on correspondence from a person (details supplied) suffering from a long-term progressive illness; if issues arise in respect of the cost of necessary medications administered in a hospital setting, as distinct from the patient's home; if a programme of care and medication for this patient will be put in place; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services is a matter for the Health Service Executive and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall vote. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular case 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.
