Paul McGrath
Question:75 Mr. McGrath asked the Minister for Health and Children the policy of his Department regarding the payment of domiciliary care allowance; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that some health boards do not pay this allowance to some parents where the child is in institutional care for part of each week; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that only holiday periods in excess of eight weeks duration warrant payment of this allowance to parents; his views on the interpretations of the rules; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
