348. Deputy Joe Costello asked the Minister for Health if he will ensure that there are adequate support services provided for patients who are discharged from hospital; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27250/15]

As this is a service matter, it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
