499. To ask the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs whether he has plans to merge the child health care services in County Galway; if so, the reasons for same; the consultation that has taken place with all stakeholders; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29128/15]

I assume that the Deputy is referring to the review of the organisation of community based services. This review, undertaken by the HSE, proposes the establishment of Community Healthcare Organisations and the putting in place of associated governance and management arrangements for community based services including those relevant to child health. The impact of the proposed changes on how individual local services are organised and the change processes involved are matters for the Health Service Executive in the first instance, which is under the remit of the Minister for Health.
