asked the Minister for Health if he will extend the EEC social assistance butter scheme so that persons in receipt of disablement and tuberculosis allowances from health boards will benefit.
Written Answers. - Social Assistance Butter Scheme.
197.
I presume that the Deputy is referring to persons in receipt of either a disabled persons (maintenance) allowance or an infectious diseases (maintenance) allowance, payable by health boards under the Health Acts. If so, the position is that the EEC social assistance butter scheme already applies to such persons.
