Brian O'Shea
Ceist:68 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Health and Children the plans, if any, he has to fund the expansion of the summer independence training and respite care programme which the Irish Association for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus has run each year since 1970 in Clondalkin, Dublin 22, and which facilitates members countrywide; and if he will provide the deficit funding of £32,000 accumulated by the association which is principally related to the provision of respite care and a liaison nurse service for members at Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children in Crumlin.
