35.

Mr. B. Desmond

asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he proposes to reform the home assistance system.

Mr. Corish

As I indicated in reply to a question on the 2nd May, a review of the social assistance services is being carried out. The question of reforming the home assistance system is being considered in that review.

Dr. O'Connell

Would the Minister be able to state when some announcement can be made about it?

Mr. Corish

I am afraid I could not at the moment.
