437. Deputy Michael Colreavy asked the Minister for Health the reason for the long delay in the HSE arranging a trust fund for a person (details supplied) in County Sligo, including an assessment of the costs of the proceedings, the financial impact on the modest estate and the psychological impact of the process on the person and concerned family members. [4636/16]

The particular issue raised by the Deputy is a service matter for the Health Service Executive (HSE). Accordingly, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the HSE 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.
