The payment of a boarded-out allowance is a matter for the appropriate health board. The child in question although living in County Offaly is boarded-out by the Western Health Board. I understand from the board that they have reexamined the case and that payment of the boarded-out allowance will be made shortly in respect of the period referred to.
