asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will outline the policy of his Department to assist members of the public to avail of any grants and assistance available from his Department and the procedures used towards this end.

It is the policy of my Department to give every assistance necessary to claimants under the various social welfare schemes to enable them to secure their entitlements.

My Department have a network of offices throughout the country where information and advice are available. Information booklets and leaflets covering all the Department's schemes are available at those offices and are also otherwise widely distributed. Developments in the Department's services are extensively advertised in the national and provincial press as those developments take place.
