568. To ask the Minister for Health if he will review or has reviewed the current system of fitting and refitting wheelchairs for persons; if he is aware that for a person in County Kerry to get refitted or fitted with a wheelchair this could take months, even years, as the company involved only comes to service County Kerry for one or two days in a whole month which means many persons are left in chairs unsuitable for their current needs or simply without a chair; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
