137 Mrs. Barnes asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will match the fund raising efforts of a person (details supplied) in County Waterford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14338/01]

The provision of services and the identification of priorities, in this instance, is the responsibility of the South-Eastern Health Board.
