Question 571: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the existence of a school (detail supplied) in County Dublin; her views on whether the service provided there is essential to young people with a learning disability who benefit from it and that those benefitting from this service fall into the category of most vulnerable in our society; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that a decision has been made to close the facility as a result of the withdrawal of funding by the Health Service Executive and FÁS; if she will review and reverse this decision to withdraw funding in order that this facility can continue in existence; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

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 case investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
